If that seems like hyperbole, consider that since man walked this earth, we lived in and survived earth’s harsh climate almost like animals until recently. ... Read More »

In response to Cash Moore’s Oct. 21 column, “It’s time to end nuclear paranoia.” Dear editor, Proponents of nuclear energy overlook the obvious, limitless supply of nuclear energy Earth has, and has had during its 4.6 billion years.

By Letter to the Editor on November 5th, 2021
Dear editor, Remembrance Day ceremonies always bring memories of the Second World War flooding back to my mind. Looking back, the following incident in 1945, or early 1946, was humorous – but not so much at the time! I attended Grade 1 in a small elementary school in Medicine Hat – Earl Kitchener School.

Dear editor, It’s very sad that having given Albertans a say on the long standing controversy of Daylight Saving Time, Jason Kenney and the UCP managed to screw it up by simply not asking the right questions. The final tally shows that of those who voted, 49.8% wanted to stay on DST year round and ... Read More »
