By Letter to the Editor on June 16th, 2023

Dear editor, The Trans-Canada Highway as it traverses Medicine Hat generates pathological levels of noise for a few hundred metres on either side of the right of way. These effects are most commonly realized as sleep disturbances, annoyance and to a lesser extent, ischemic heart disease. The issue will only exacerbate as the population of ... Read More »

Letter: Current provincial government nothing like great conservatives of old

By Letter to the Editor on June 16th, 2023

Dear editor, Once again, Edmontonians and those in the surrounding area have shown that they understand what is happening to this province and have voted to try to protect it. Why then is it so hard for many Calgarians and Rural Albertans to understand that the defeated and victorious NDP candidates are sons and daughters ... Read More »

Letter: Canada is no poster child for environmentalism

By Letter to the Editor on June 8th, 2023

Dear editor, I am so tired of people saying Canada does not have a pollution problem. We are getting a D rating on per capita pollution. We are a large country with a population spread out widely. Everything we want or need has to be transported by truck, train or plane. We develop our raw ... Read More »

In response to the Canadian Press story “RCMP turns 150…” in the May 23 edition of the News.

Letter: Destruction of campaign signs unacceptable on either side

By Letter to the Editor on June 1st, 2023

Dear editor, My family moved to Medicine Hat seven years ago, and we have grown to love this city. During the recent election campaign, I have been distressed to witness the damage and destruction of political signs. I don’t care whose political signs they are, this is vandalism of property and has no place in ... Read More »

Letter: Only you can prevent forest fires

By Letter to the Editor on May 16th, 2023

Dear editor, We’ve all been reading about the active fires in the province. There are families who have been evacuated and some that have lost their homes. How frightening, upsetting and most definitely stressful time for anyone who is affected by such a disaster. One cannot fathom how a person might truly feel if faced ... Read More »

Letter: Reflecting on Good Friday

By Letter to the Editor on May 16th, 2023

Dear editor, Just reflecting back on the Good Friday service at the Cypress Centre. It was a packed building with so many people in unity, all there for with one purpose.

Letter: Mother Goose & Grimm comic offside

By Letter to the Editor on March 29th, 2023

Re: Saturday’s Mother Goose & Grimm comic that portrayed the Virgin Mary with a football, and a defence worried about a “Hail Mary” pass. Dear editor, This is very bad, awful, offensive to religion, ugly, unpleasant, sinful to the blessed Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, in a comic strip with a football like this. That ... Read More »

Letter: Take caution around city wildlife

By Letter to the Editor on March 29th, 2023

Dear editor, I am concerned with the safety of the people and wild animals within the city limits. It is only a matter of time until it will happen. Deer, moose, coyotes, cougars, badgers and maybe elk are here. With spring coming and the danger of animals protecting their young, someone is going to get ... Read More »
