Be the first to comment!Letter: Kenney’s approval rating speaks for itself
By Letter to the Editor on January 7th, 2021
Dear editor, While Ian Parkinson desperately tries to defend this phony Conservative, Liberal turned Reformer in Jason Kenney (in a Dec. 26 letter), the comments we are hearing and the polls prove him dead wrong. More and more Albertans are admitting that they made a huge mistake in electing him. A poll conducted at the ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on January 5th, 2021
Dear editor, Forty-nine years ago on January 7, 1972, 14 original members of the British Army arrived in Canada from the UK via Washington D.C., Montreal and Calgary to the final destination at CFB Suffield to set up what all local’s now know as BATUS. We were a very weary and unsuspecting lot of individuals. ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Letter: No one actually thinks Trump was cheated, do they?
By Letter to the Editor on January 2nd, 2021
Dear editor, I seriously doubt most of Donald Trump’s ardent supporters truly believe that, as they adamantly insist, he won the election but was cheated from his victory due to (not little but) massive electoral fraud – a claim they cannot factually support. Just the loss on its own seems to be proof enough that ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: We’re Albertans. Let’s do this ourselves
By Letter to the Editor on January 2nd, 2021
Dear editor, Why are Canadians, and in particular Albertans, wasting time and energy over who did or did not win or cheat in the U.S. presidential election? We have no input whatsoever, so who cares? Why are Albertans whining and crying about why Justin Trudeau stuck it to us again? We all know the election ... Read More »

RE: Dec. 26 letter to the editor ‘Look to Canada before judging the U.S.’ by Ken Pirie Dear editor, Mr. Pirie spared no effort in throwing what he hoped would be knock-out punches at the soft ‘liberal’, ‘socialist’, underbelly of Mr. (Fred) Lewis and me (in his Dec. 26 letter titled Look to Canada before ...

Be the first to comment!Letter: Trump’s pre-pandemic economic performance should earn him a ‘C’
By Letter to the Editor on December 30th, 2020
Dear editor, Supporters of Donald Trump greatly exaggerate his economic success and are blind to facts that indicate otherwise. First is the fact that Trump inherited an economy that had largely recovered from the Great Recession (2008-09) and was gaining strength. Evidence of this is the 76 months of continuous job growth in place at ... Read More »
1 responseLetter: Look to Canada before judging the U.S.
By Letter to the Editor on December 26th, 2020
Dear editor, The contentious editorials authored by Messrs. Peter Mueller and Fred Lewis and published in the News on Nov. 27 warrant response. What an abomination these letters are; Canadians slandering an American President who continually demonstrates his love of country, while we in Canada are governed by a divisive, apathetic “great reset” globalist in ...

Dear editor, This is a letter to show appreciation to everyone involved in my recent positive experience with the health system in Medicine Hat.
