Thunberg’s plea called ‘unrealistic’
By Letter to the Editor on October 23rd, 2019
I listened to Greta Thunberg’s diatribe in Edmonton and it absolutely amazes me that this 15-year-old is being widely accepted as the Messiah of Climate Change when, like all the others, she doesn’t understand the premise. It’s not that trying to reduce the world’s CO2 levels “is a bad thing,” it’s more of why don’t ... Read More »
5 responsesAn aversion to evidence-based policy
By Letter to the Editor on October 21st, 2019
At the Oct. 2 federal election forum for the Medicine Hat-Cardston-Warner riding Conservative incumbent Glen Motz stated “you can’t tax your way to a clean environment.” Do you agree with him? His statement is not correct, as proven by only a few examples, below. Firstly, Alberta has collected a government-imposed deposit on beverage containers since ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on October 21st, 2019
The idea of turning Central Park School into an expanded food bank is an idea that is stupid beyond comprehension. I haven’t heard anything so dumb since our mayor told national media that Medicine Hat had become the first city to eliminate homelessness. Homelessness is in fact increasing in Medicine Hat because homeless persons, through ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on October 18th, 2019
The biggest crisis facing the world is not climate change. It is the murder of millions of babies through abortion. I agree 100% with Richard Dietrich’s letter (“Adult manipulation and media sensationalism,” Oct. 11). The climate crisis is a manufactured crisis. The end of the world is not imminent. In 2008, Al Gore said, the ... Read More »

2 responsesOne particular scene of ‘Unplanned’ impactful
By Letter to the Editor on October 16th, 2019
Re: “Regrettably, ‘Unplanned’ can’t be unseen,” Sept. 30 I too, attended the showing of the movie, “Unplanned” at the Monarch Theatre. While the writer of the aforementioned letter dwells to a large degree on, in her words, “obscene gore,” that is not at all what made an impression on me. What did affect me, however, ... Read More »

Re: “You’re up, Premier Kenney,” Oct. 5 Thank you to Mr. Peter Mueller for his guest column. In that column he compared the suicidal antics and stupid warmongering of the world leaders 60 years ago to the willful blindness and simplistic stupidity of world leaders in the last four decades regarding human-caused climate change. His ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on October 11th, 2019
If you have not read Arthur Millar’s “The Crucible” perhaps now is the time. St. Greta Thunberg is accusingly crying out “witchery” and the world is ready to burn critics of current climate change theory at the stake. We have dismissed rational debate of how to address apparent climate changes, replacing it with appeals to ... Read More »

Re: “Child abuse in the name of climate change,” Sept. 28 Anyone can say anything in print or online, so long as it does not infringe on the rights of another; this is the basis for freedom of speech in Canada. A person can assert that Sasquatch is responsible for the Alberta recession. It is ... Read More »
