Dear editor Besides CBC, almost all news, entertainment and information come from four private companies, and their stock is owned by major Canadian banking and business oligarchs. These are the “established media.” In my opinion, these media oligarchies have been shaping news to their own advantage and to our detriment. I no longer trust them. [...] Read More »

Dear editor, The word “socialist” has become an undeserved electioneering slur used by the Conservative Party of Canada and Medicine Hat-Cardston Warner MP Glen Motz. I consider CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre’s political speech equating socialism with Naziism at the recent 80th Anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, to be unstatesmanlike and very [...] Read More »

You’re driving along, in no particular hurry, and you notice another driver is trying to merge into your lane. Being the kind and considerate person that you are, you slow down and give the other driver the opportunity to do so.

I never really understood the history of our Canadian flag as it celebrated its 60th anniversary on Feb. 1.

People are hungry and need meals. Ticked Off Donald Trump is insane, the defining symptom of which is verbal incontinence. Ticked Off That Canadian fans [...] Read More »

Tickled Pink The layout editor again has revealed how unhinged and biased he is in his recent opinion piece. Unfortunately only the people that submit, and get censored, know how many people support our premier. Tickled Pink That Canada has enough freedom that the crazies who want to be Americans can be heard. I wonder [...] Read More »

Ticked Off Ok let’s see if this gets published. The notion that renuable energy is carbon neutral is crazy. It cannot exist without a huge carbon footprint to manufacture,distribute and build. Renuables may be useful but come on, carbon neutral,NO (Editor’s note: Just for you, we didn’t change a single letter.) Ticked Off While I [...] Read More »
