Letter: We can’t stay silent while our premier refuses assistance
By Letter to the Editor on October 1st, 2021
Dear editor, I can no longer be silent and expect our doctors and nurses to fight our provincial government on my behalf. There is no doubt in my mind that we are here in this life-and-death battle as a result of the actions of our premier. Government-sanctioned parties as of July, Mr. Kenney holidaying in ...

2 responsesLetter: Don’t take out your frustrations on fellow travellers on this journey of life
By Letter to the Editor on September 29th, 2021
Dear editor, Last Friday night I took my wife out for a late supper as a “date night” in Medicine Hat to a local restaurant after a busy week.

By Letter to the Editor on September 29th, 2021
Dear editor, Who could have predicted that Vancouver, Kelowna, Calgary, Swift Current, Moose Jaw and Regina would be on water restrictions and/or boil-water advisories during the summer of 2021? The drought of summer 2021 should be an awakening; the Hoover Dam in the U.S. was constructed during a drought period in the 1930s. Now is ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on September 29th, 2021
It is scary in Alberta right now. Our health system is near collapse and people are worried about their families. Some families still disagree about getting vaccinated.

1 responseLetter: Where would we be without our health-care professionals?
By Letter to the Editor on September 22nd, 2021
Dear editor, In these times, our frontline health workers are being sworn at, spit at and scorned for trying to do their job. The job of trying to keep us safe and healthy. I thought your readers might enjoy a personal experience that I recently had. On Sept. 12 at around 4 p.m. I was ... Read More »
2 responsesLetter: Public trustees’ code of conduct needs to be revised
By Letter to the Editor on September 17th, 2021
Dear editor, It doesn’t surprise me that the Public School Board would not express any opinion regarding the letter from concerned citizens regarding COVID restrictions to protect children in school, as reported in the News, Sept. 15. Item 4 in the trustees’ code of ethics of the public board is essentially a gag order preventing ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on September 17th, 2021
Dear editor, It is wonderful to see so many candidates willing to put themselves under public scrutiny in order to serve on our city council and make our city better. My concern is with how we vote. People may think it is mandatory to use all eight of our votes for councillors. This is not ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on September 16th, 2021
Dear editor, Our children are the future of our country and planet, and they are being inundated with false information and hate on top of everything else they have to contend with. The scientific community is being vilified for trying to tell people the truth and are being chastised for changing recommendations solely because as ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on September 16th, 2021
Dear editor, The world is leaving fossil fuels behind. This is not merely my opinion. It is fact. For example, some investment funds, insurance companies, pension funds and countries are refusing to invest in fossil fuel businesses.

Dear editor, On Sept. 10 it was reported in the News that MLA Barnes stated, “Albertans and Medicine Hatters are great at taking care of each other… and doing what needs to be done.” with regard to COVID prevention.

2 responsesLetter: Strange was no parachute candidate
By Letter to the Editor on September 15th, 2021
Dear editor, In 2019, I had the honour to be your NDP candidate for Medicine Hat-Cardston-Warner. A recent article about the 2021 candidate, the incredible Jocelyn Stenger, incorrectly states that I was a former Hatter at the time of my candidacy. I am a Hatter through and through, including during the 2019 federal election. In ... Read More »
