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 »
Be the first to comment!Media content with just the facts, opinion omitted, would be ideal
By Letter to the Editor on February 23rd, 2019
Re: “Left vs. right: Balance is healthiest,” Jan. 28 I enjoyed reading Ms. Dirk’s letter in response to Mr. McLennan’s piece on media bias. I believe Mr. McLennan is correct and there is a strong “anti-conservative” bias in Canada’s media. Ms. Dirk is also right when she writes people should be aware of their own ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Consumption site will save lives
By Letter to the Editor on February 23rd, 2019
I have been thinking about the community meeting I attended on the supervised consumption site in Medicine Hat on Feb. 13. I went to listen with an open mind to those who oppose it and support those who want it. It occurs to me that problem is that not everyone accepts every person into their ... Read More »
1 responseDoing the math on convoy to Ottawa
By Letter to the Editor on February 22nd, 2019
Re: “Convoy passes to great support,” Feb. 15 “Organizers say 100 trucks” including “several dozen heavy trucks and as many pickups” passed through Medicine Hat “on the 3,900-kilometre trek (7,800 km return)to the nation’s capital.” We examine the fuel cost incurred by one diesel pick-up engaged in this ill-conceived adventure. Consumer Reports (09/20/17) rated four ... Read More »
1 responseWall money would be better spent elsewhere
By Letter to the Editor on February 21st, 2019
Canada being the neighbour of the U.S. has often been referred as the “mouse having to exist next door to an elephant.” But as we all know, where ever that elephant goes, that mouse will sooner or later also have to go, perhaps falling into those giant elephant footprints. Therefore it behoves us to pay ... Read More »
Be the first to comment!Pension discrimination has to change
By Letter to the Editor on February 20th, 2019
MP Glen Motz appears to have listed the CPC platform for the upcoming federal election, but he excluded two important issues – supply management and pension reform. Apparently they are not in the “public good.” He is not interested in promoting a pension benefit for private-sector workers without a pension plan which is even a ... Read More »

By Letter to the Editor on February 20th, 2019
A memory from my childhood – I was sent to get a few groceries. We lived two blocks from the hospital. The nearest grocery store was on Seventh Street. It was cold. I trudged along the sidewalk with my bag of goods and, for the first time in my life, saw a flickering television in ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Supervised injection sites are only the first step
By medicinehatnews on February 19th, 2019
No one is denying that Medicine Hat has a drug problem. We all agree that there needs to be greater efforts to fund treatment programs. Meanwhile, drug users are dying. The proposed supervised drug consumption site for our city is specifically designed to curtail overdose deaths, the proliferation of drug houses throughout our city, and ... Read More »
