Letter: ‘The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching’
By Letter to the Editor on August 17th, 2021
Dear editor, I have always had an issue with people littering. This behaviour seems to be so disrespectful to both other people and the environment. Many times this is done when ‘no one is watching.’ It’s as if the litterers are thinking, ‘If I don’t get caught, it doesn’t matter if I dump this here.’ ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Thrown to the wolves
By Letter to the Editor on August 14th, 2021
Dear editor, Medicine Hat (and the rest of Alberta) has been thrown to the wolves as far as COVID-19 is concerned. At today’s COVID update for medical staff in the South zone there was universal concern about the province’s direction with respect to the loss of the mask mandate and the planned reduction of testing ...

2 responsesLetter: UN Climate Report paints dire picture of the future
By Letter to the Editor on August 14th, 2021
Dear editor, The UN’s Climate Report is out and it paints a dire picture of the future. We are already beginning to see the results of our C02 emissions, wildfires consume the West year after year, droughts are dryer and lasting longer, flash flooding and hurricanes are more deadly and more frequent. If we continue ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Kenney ignoring the obvious solution
By Letter to the Editor on August 14th, 2021
Dear editor, My senior conservative friends and I aren’t surprised that Jason Kenney would try to kick out the RCMP for daring to investigate his corrupt party, while we see more and more fines being levied against members by Elections Alberta. None of us, especially our retired RCMP friends, are dumb enough to believe his ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Take action on climate change, even if you’re not convinced
By Letter to the Editor on August 12th, 2021
Dear editor. On Aug. 5, Larry Samcoe encouraged readers to probe climate change, even if the science is settled. I encourage readers to take climate action, even if they aren’t convinced. That’s because many solutions to climate change lead to happier, and often more profitable lives. Drawdown.org lists 80 ways to reduce greenhouse gases, with ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: Common sense should win out over politics
By Letter to the Editor on August 12th, 2021
Dear Editor, I agree with Kathy Bayer’s Aug. 10 letter to the editor regarding a continued need for virus testing, tracing and mandatory isolation. While I don’t favor any particular political party, I do favor common sense over politics. It doesn’t make any sense to me to stop testing, monitoring, tracing, isolating and reporting during ...

1 responseLetter: Moore not a credible source on climate science
By Letter to the Editor on August 7th, 2021
In response to Viewpoint: Probing climate change worthwhile, even if ‘science is settled,’ published in the Aug. 5 edition of the News Dear editor, Larry Samcoe will have to do better than to cite discredited authors such as Patrick Moore on the issue of climate change. People like Moore (and Samcoe) are behind the times. ... Read More »
5 responsesLetter: The era of consequence
By Letter to the Editor on August 6th, 2021
Dear editor, We are entering a new era, I would like to term it as the era of consequence. The pumping metric tons of C02 and methane into the atmosphere has raised the average global temperature by 1 degree Celsius and we are on track to surpass our 1.5 target. The effects are visible: wildfires ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: No seasonal northward migration and mass influx of grasshoppers from Montana
By Letter to the Editor on August 6th, 2021
Dear editor, An article in the Lethbridge Herald on Aug. 3 said that grasshoppers “move north as the season progresses, meaning that the adults are here in time to lay eggs”, and describes “a lot of grasshoppers showing up in the fall” from Montana. It doesn’t work that way with grasshoppers, although some insects like ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Letter: UCP should cut their own salaries before turning to nurses
By Letter to the Editor on July 17th, 2021
Dear editor, I recently spent five days in Medicine Hat Regional Hospital and can’t believe the UCP government wants to cut nurses wages. I started out in emergency and my care was constant, professional and caring, by both the nurses and the doctors. I then was moved to intensive care and the wonderful care continued. ... Read More »
3 responsesLetter: More courage needed to fight climate change
By Letter to the Editor on July 14th, 2021
Dear editor, Clearly there has been discouragingly insufficient political courage and will to properly act upon the cause-and-effect of manmade global warming and climate change. ‘Liberals’ and ‘conservatives’ (etcetera) are overly preoccupied with vociferously criticizing one another for their politics and beliefs, thus diverting attention away from the greatest polluters’ moral and ethical corruption, where ...
