Ticked Off and Tickled Pink, Aug. 12

Ticked Off

That people want to boycott the China Olympics thinking it will solve everything! Think back to 1980, when we boycotted the Moscow Olympics. Didn’t make any difference, and those who had trained their lives for that shot missed it for nothing! Let them go!

Ticked Off

To the ticked off person that asked what happened to my body my choice. When your body starts harming my body it no longer applies. If your body is blowing smoke in my face or spitting in my face or punching me it is no longer just your body. The same applies when you are potentially spreading a potentially deadly virus, and allowing it to continue to mutate, then it is no longer just your body.

Watching the events around the world should hopefully stop that person from Bow Island from writing letters denying climate change.

I’m no fan of the federal Liberals, but they made the right decision to stop the Grassy Mountain coal project. And I can’t understand why our provincial government would even consider approval.

City road repair on 15th Street SW should be a priority, or is the Light Industrial area a low priority? The crews do a great job – it’s who decides what gets repaired who is lacking.

Medicine Hat used to be such a beautiful city but not anymore. The trails are horrible, weeds over grown everywhere. Most city owned property looks like crap. We have parks that the city won’t turn the sprinklers on, let alone have ever seen a lawnmower. Countless streets with weeds growing. Maple Avenue with three-foot weeds.

Ticked Off

Overpaid nurses whining about a 3% pay cut. You did it to yourselves. You’re not worth how much you get paid especially in Medicine Hat. I’m 100% in favour of privatization of the health care system.

Glad to see all these new names running for mayor and city council. Time to clean house! Only a couple existing that will have my vote.

Quite sure the Olympics were held in Japan. Or have I been asleep for the last few years?

I completely agree, our poor city is looking more and more run down from simple neglect. This has been a very bad year for Medicine Hat, for so many reasons, and our cities reputation is still suffering.
