Letter in Newfoundland paper was ‘hogwash’
By Letter to the Editor on July 24th, 2019
I was recently reminded of the dislike or – let’s call it what it is, “hate” – of people by others everywhere. On July 17, a Newfoundland newspaper called The Telegram published a letter to the editor from Mr. Gord Cowan of Medicine Hat, titled, “An N.L., vote for the Federal Liberals is a betrayal ...

1 responseAn eatery’s most important staff
By Letter to the Editor on July 24th, 2019
I, like probably a lot of other folks, have a favourite eatery and bar. Haven’t been to many, but enough to consider myself perhaps not an expert but certainly, shall we say, a bit of an aficionado. And in that capacity I dare to write what follows, to the chagrin of some but I’m sure ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Gas prices still high
By Letter to the Editor on July 23rd, 2019
We recently spent a very enjoyable time in the small Alberta town of Lac La Biche in northern Alberta. The fist thing we noticed was the difference in gasoline prices. Lac La Biche was 30 cents per litre cheaper than the Hat. What’s going on? Bob Wolstenholme Medicine Hat... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Hatter’s warning letter to Newfoundland voters riles
By Letter to the Editor on July 19th, 2019
On July 17, a Newfoundland newspaper called The Telegram published a letter to the editor from a Mr. Gord Cowan of Medicine Hat titled “An N.L. vote for the federal Liberals is a betrayal of Alberta.” Mr. Cowan was clearly very upset at how Newfoundlanders could have voted for the federal Liberals in 2015 and ...

By Letter to the Editor on July 17th, 2019
The Global Fund is the largest global effort to eliminate the world’s greatest killers – AIDS, TB and Malaria, and they have been incredibly successful, saving tens of millions of lives, and the fund is due for renewal for another three years. Japan has recently committed to this renewal and so has the UK, both ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!An evil agenda is bing promoted in our country
By Letter to the Editor on July 17th, 2019
Re: “No to Trump in ’20,” June 24 There are shades of conspiracy in the Medicine Hat News publishing such a biased editorial from the left-centre Orlando Sentinel in the city where Donald Trump opened his 2020 campaign for re-election. In step with most of the Canadian media, the News can’t say enough bad things ... Read More »
2 responsesWho’s next to have their pay cut?
By Letter to the Editor on July 17th, 2019
Re: “Bill 2 creates jobs, opportunity,” July 8 I was disappointed to read the minister of labour and immigration’s guest column. In it he attempts to justify paying young people less than the official minimum wage. That policy, he claims will increase the number of jobs available to young people. I would suggest that the ...

1 responsePreoccupied with ourselves and missing the bigger picture
By Letter to the Editor on July 15th, 2019
I see humankind’s dire environmental situation as somewhat analogous to a cafeteria lineup. It’s like a group of diversely societally represented people, all adamantly arguing over which identifiable traditionally marginalized person should be at the front and, conversely, at the back of the line; and, furthermore, to whom among them should go the last piece ...

The 55-plus Alberta Summer Games have come and gone and the community needs to stand tall in their commitment to the event. The business and the corporate community, the planning organization, the chairs of the various events and the amazing volunteers made it an outstanding success. Volunteers in Medicine Hat and those who help in ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!A boycott might be the only way to get relief at the pump
By Letter to the Editor on July 11th, 2019
I am writing to express my displeasure with the unreasonable disparity in gasoline prices in various Alberta communities. Major discrepancies in pricing is nothing more than gouging customers such as what we are experiencing in Medicine Hat. On a trip this past week I paid 94.9 cents a litre in Edmonton and 95.9 cents a ... Read More »
