By Letter to the Editor on June 28th, 2019
Re: “I swore I’d never write about this topic again,” June 3 Dr. Gifford Jones, he defended the right of a woman to control her own body including her right to abortion.

5 responsesMeaningful consultation needed on union wage bill
By Letter to the Editor on June 27th, 2019
Re: “UCP bill to alter union wage deals,” June 13 The headline really hit home. It’s difficult to read about the legislation the UCP government intends to pass regarding worker rights and collective bargaining rights. I’d argue that the majority of Albertans elected the UCP to get people back to work in the oilsands, not ... Read More »
3 responsesProposed superlab cancelled, what the plan now?
By Letter to the Editor on June 26th, 2019
Here we go again like listening to Lawrence Welk on a 78rpm record. Premier Jason Kenney and the Tories have cancelled the proposed medical superlab in Edmonton. Do they have a plan for its replacement? Nada. The previous Tory government plan was to assign lab services to a private Australian company. If we remember a ... Read More »
23 responsesCitizens deserve peace, quiet and safety
By Letter to the Editor on June 26th, 2019
Medicine Hat is rapidly becoming a third world country like those in Central America, where thieves and thugs ruin our streets. The brain-dead drug users, dealers and criminal thieves have more rights than we as taxpayers, who worked hard in order to have a comfortable retirement. Now we are being forced because of these problems ... Read More »
1 responseEar plug stunt ‘childish’
By Letter to the Editor on June 26th, 2019
II see our politicians are at it again, acting like little children not getting their own way. Mr. Kenney showed his true colours early by leading his primary class in a protest against what? Something he doesn’t want to hear? And certainly he doesn’t want his sycophants to hear it either. He did his best ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!How many alcohol-impaired charges?
By Letter to the Editor on June 25th, 2019
Re: “Just two cannabis-impaired charges laid thus far, June 22 The article states that in Medicine Hat, during the eight months since cannabis legalization, two people have been subject to criminal charges for cannabis-impaired driving. For purposes of comparison, I would be grateful to the police if they would publicize the number of people against ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Kenney, UCP should listen respectfully
By Letter to the Editor on June 25th, 2019
Re: “UCP literally plugs ears to bill debate,” June 21 Less than 12 hours after Premier Jason Kenney’s earplug stunt, veteran Canadian broadcaster Anna-Maria Tremonti presented her last radio program as host of “The Current.” AMT (as she is known) identified the most important thing she had learned from conducting more than 13 000 interviews. ...

Be the first to comment!Not all ducks survived, but credit to local motorist for efforts near college
By Letter to the Editor on June 21st, 2019
In recent travels I came across a parked vehicle on College Avenue along the southbound stretch between the college and the Cultural Centre. Several other cars had stopped in the adjacent southbound lane, and a single male figure could be seen walking in front of both vehicles, waving his arms about. Though he didn’t appear ...

Be the first to comment!Did pesticide program kill off leopard frog population near Stampede grounds?
By Letter to the Editor on June 17th, 2019
I am a regular walker (20-plus years) on the trails around the Stampede grounds. Off the northeast corner of the grounds is Leinwebber Park and its little pond. The pond has a nice sign beside it telling about the protected leopard frogs. Every spring for years one would be greeted by the “frog song” of ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on June 17th, 2019
Re: “Sketchy numbers from local representatives,” May 8 Wow, Fred Lewis, that’s quite a letter you wrote. The title of the letter above yours was “Resist the hatred.” Maybe the News can tell you next time so it doesn’t seem too ironic. We all get it. You don’t like Mr. Barnes or Mr. Clugston. Fair ...

Be the first to comment!Reader found ‘high level of prejudice’ in letter
By Letter to the Editor on June 13th, 2019
Re: “Public-private economic split evident among Alberta voters, Leath Johnston,” May 29 I found Leath Johnston’s recent letter to the editor very educational, not previously having realized it’s possible to possess broad knowledge on a variety of relevant political and socioeconomic topics while exhibiting a high level of prejudice. Thank you, Mr. Johnston, for that ... Read More »
