Letter: Bank of Canada made a mistake
By Letter to the Editor on May 5th, 2022
Dear editor, Make no mistake I am a rigorous defender of our National Bank but at times I believe they make mistakes which I simply do not understand. The most recent one ( in my opinion ) occurred on April 19 when the federal government announced its intent to issue a U.S.-dollar-denominated global bond the ... Read More »
3 responsesLetter: Some schooling on charter schools
By Letter to the Editor on May 5th, 2022
Dear editor, In a previous “Ticked Off, Tickled Pink” there were two commentaries on charter schools. (1) “Charter schools… this is privatization… this will cause families to pay out huge amounts… for schooling.”(2) “…charter schools… Albertans don’t want their government subsidizing private education.” I am no longer on the CAPE School board, but I feel ...

By Letter to the Editor on May 4th, 2022
Dear editor, I am so very pleased with our city police officers, as I realize their positions to be very dangerous, plus they are all so well appearing and treat all citizens with respect. They are called out at any hour – Will I return home? Who is in this home? I must speed to ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Putin out to recreate ‘glory’ of Soviet Union
By Letter to the Editor on May 4th, 2022
Dear editor, Vladimir Putin, like Stalin before him… like Kruschev, Breshnev and all the other communist dictators before him, will understand only one ‘threat,’ the threat of the willingness and preparedness by NATO to stand and fight. Remember when Nikita Kruschev shipped all those ballistic missiles to Cuba? It took the direct threat by President ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: As we remember Nova Scotia’s mass shooting, ask what can be done to prevent it
By Letter to the Editor on April 28th, 2022
Dear Editor, April 18-19 was the second anniversary of the mass murder of 22 people in Portapique, Nova Scotia. The gunman, disguised as an RCMP officer and driving an RCMP lookalike cruiser, had, according to investigative psychiatrists, mental illness defects at the time of his heinous acts. A threat-sensitive mind that is constantly on guard ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Plenty of similarities between state of the world in 2022 and 1914
By Letter to the Editor on April 23rd, 2022
Dear editor, I am writing this piece to draw attention to the similarities between what we have in the world now as compared to what was happening in the world just prior to the First World War breaking out. I would also like to point out that times change but unfortunately, people, for the most ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on April 23rd, 2022
Re: Drew Barnes’ MLA Report, published April 14 Dear editor, “The economy flourished, prosperity was born, and with it the rigid social class structure of the day began to dissolve.” This sentence could have been written by a resourceful Grade 8 student doing a brief perusal of Wikipedia (my apologies to all Grade 8s). It’s ... Read More »

3 responsesLetter: Council needs to canvass hard on behalf of Medicine Hat
By Letter to the Editor on April 19th, 2022
Dear editor, It has been six months since the new city council was elected. I decided not to comment on any proceedings or actions the new council took until I felt they had sufficient time to adjust. This new council has done nothing substantive to alleviate the problems facing the citizens of Medicine Hat. We ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Conservatives should take pride in differing opinions
By Letter to the Editor on April 19th, 2022
Dear editor, One thing I really dislike is government spending announcements or big spending programs at election time. The UCP is only having a leadership review and premier Kenney’s spending announcements seem like full election-mode spending. He could have made some of these announcements 3-5 months ago, but he saved them for the most opportune ... Read More »
