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 »

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).

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 »

By Letter to the Editor on April 19th, 2022
Dear editor, If you ever needed an example of how stunned and lazy Ottawa politicians are, here you go. Bloc Quebecois MP Christine Normandin pointed out during a recent Commons Defence Committee meeting that there may be a solution to (Ukraine’s) problem – the federal government could ship to Ukraine the firearms Canadians are required ...

Be the first to comment!Letter: UCP should refund monthly benefits to seniors who lost them due to COVID-19 income support
By Letter to the Editor on April 19th, 2022
Dear editor, No doubt much financial hardship was endured by everyone because of the global pandemic. The Liberal government in Ottawa is refunding GIS benefits to those who lost them as the result of receiving COVID-19 benefits – the right thing to do. Now will the provincial UCP step up and do the same for ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Hard to believe it’s the 21st century
By Letter to the Editor on April 13th, 2022
Dear editor, It is hard to believe we live in the 21st century if one is following the destruction of humans and their livelihood in Ukraine. An unprovoked invasion by Russia under the orders of paranoiac President Putin, who is also delusional about restoring the failed Soviet Union. The current shift of Russian forces with ...

Be the first to comment!Letter: Lougheed did it right
By Letter to the Editor on April 13th, 2022
Dear editor, Albertans are finally realizing what electing a Reform Party is like and why you shouldn’t. Lougheed’s energy minister Bill Dickie was a brother in-law of one of my uncles, and the MLAs I got to know taught me to never trust a Reformer and they were right. They claimed it was easy to ...

1 responseLetter: How can I make a difference?
By Letter to the Editor on March 29th, 2022
Dear editor, Life has become difficult for so many people among us as both individuals and families frantically decide what they absolutely need and what they may have to do without. The cost of seemingly everything has risen dramatically over the past several months. No matter where we turn, our money buys us considerably less ... Read More »
