Which outlets should be trusted for the facts?
By Letter to the Editor on March 6th, 2019
Re: “Media content with just the facts, opinion omitted, would be ideal,” Feb. 23 I share Leath Johnston’s concern about separating factual reporting from opinion and bias. I cannot endorse his proposals for resolving this challenge. Two themes of his letter are particularly problematic. First, I am baffled by Johnston’s enthusiasm for the YouTube channel ...

Be the first to comment!Send a clear carbon tax message to Ottawa and Edmonton
By Letter to the Editor on March 5th, 2019
Re: “Follow the global warming science,” Feb. 8 I was very glad to see the letter submitted by Lynn Thacker concerning climate change and ice ages. I too have been thinking about the ice ages that the northern hemisphere has experienced. I would definitely call that climate change and have been wondering what caused them. ... Read More »
1 responseDisposal of solar panels not easy
By Letter to the Editor on March 1st, 2019
Given the present love affair with solar panel energy generation I am reminded of the 1950s and 60s and the then love affair with “clean” nuclear energy. No one wanted to talk about waste, and still don’t. These solar panels are mostly glass for which there is a global surplus. Even CanPak does not want ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on March 1st, 2019
Re: “Fundamentalists and politics don’t mix,” Feb. 4 Thank you Fred Lewis for reminding us that some of our Conservative politicians take Christian values seriously. It gives me greater confidence in them. Most of society’s woes result from forsaking God’s laws. Mr. Lewis should read the whole Bible and not just focus on the parts ... Read More »
2 responsesClimate change danger is real
By Letter to the Editor on February 28th, 2019
Re: “Follow the global warming science,” Feb. 8 Why does the Medicine Hat News continue to pander to the fringe? There are no “highly credentialed scientists on both sides” as Lynn Thacker states, none. The science is clear, unambiguous and accepted by everyone who is not a crackpot or a fringe thinker. At this point ... Read More »
1 responseCarbon emissions are not responsible for climate change
By Letter to the Editor on February 27th, 2019
I was glad to see the letter submitted by Lynn Thacker concerning climate change and ice ages. I too have been thinking about the ice ages that the northern hemisphere has experienced. I would definitely call that climate change and have been wondering what caused them so I googled them and found out there is ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Shallow analysis by Glasgo and her party
By Letter to the Editor on February 27th, 2019
Re: Impact of Alberta’s carbon tax on local church, Jan. 29. Michaela Glasgo complained about a local church having to pay $50,000 per year carbon tax. Pastor Steve Pahl corrected her error, stating that the church’s actual yearly payment of carbon tax is not $50,000 but $5,400. Ms. Glasgo made a mistake. Anyone can, but ... Read More »
1 responseAccurate photo radar data needed
By Letter to the Editor on February 27th, 2019
I’m not sure that Insp. Joe West is being totally truthful, accurate, honest and/or factual in his defence of photo radar, “according to data provided by the province” (which after an hour of Google I could not find) “automated traffic enforcement has reduced collisions by 1.4 per cent and the proportion of fatal collisions by ...

Be the first to comment!Climate alarmism abuses science
By Letter to the Editor on February 25th, 2019
Those of us who have observed global warming concern ramp up over time to near climate hysteria, are noticing a disturbing pattern. Although the climate industry always claims to have science on its side, it often chooses instead to use misrepresentations, exaggerations and outright lies to force this manufactured crisis onto society. One has to ... Read More »
2 responsesNew curriculum more political than educational
By Letter to the Editor on February 25th, 2019
The Alberta Minister of Education continues to ignore the rising criticism of his new curriculum. Minister Eggen claims that 100,000 Albertans provided feedback for the writing of these documents. When was that? Developed in secret, the public only heard of invited feedback from the minister in June of 2018; well after department minions had written ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Council protests too much over blame for consumption site
By Letter to the Editor on February 25th, 2019
Well, well, well, those scalliwags (I would use a different pejorative but it might not be printed) on city council passed a major amendment to the city land use bylaw allowing supervised consumption sites. So much for the bleating and wailing excuse “we have nothing to do with it, blame Rachel, blame Justin, blame anyone ... Read More »
