Very unhealthy air in the city in spring time because of all the dirt on the roads. Plow blades on the sanding trucks would eliminate the problem, or is it a make work program?

The mini roundabouts on Eighth Street SE are the biggest waste of taxpayer dollars by this council. Unnecessary and totally ineffective on a quiet, low-traffic residential street.

Time to cut the mustard. If you are guilty, admit it, do the right thing and resign. If you are innocent, call for a public inquiry into the whole AHS fiasco. If it shows you are truly innocent, represent your constituents so you have their respect.

I agree 100 per cent with the person ticked off at dog owners. People, get your dogs under control. If you can not, maybe it’s time to reconsider owning a dog.

If we are going to start making dedicated bike lanes, I think it’s time that cyclists start having to pay for registration and insurance like all other vehicles that use the road.

Whatever happened to Trump’s promise of, “I’m going to end the war between Russia and Ukraine the day I’m elected president”? So much for political promises. I guess he was too obsessed with his tariffs.

With the parents of kids who do not let them have smartphones. And a word of encouragement to parents who are struggling with the challenge: Parents you can say no to your kids, it will be a battle, but it is worth it. Addiction to smartphones can have the same damage as the addiction to a drug. Help your children, you know better than they do.

I get two or three scam calls a day. How many does that translate to worldwide? Does anybody get caught? I think phone companies are complicit. They should be able to screen some of these calls for us but there is not any incentives to do so.

There were about 57,000 cars stolen in Canada last year. This would seem to be a crisis but there is not any program to fix the problem even though we can track them. It is an industry that seems to be supported by police.

I am not in favour of reciprocal tariffs, but I think export taxes are a good idea. Let the U.S. citizens pay for Trump’s bad economic policies. They should pay the price of this economic craziness.

If people in the U.S. who are missing Canadians’ business would fix their own cause for why we no longer shop or travel there.

Why is it OK to bring in regulation for addiction treatments? But OMG, not for health vaccinations that save more lives?

I think I have found the people that repeatedly demand our premier “stay in her lane.” They are the same people, that, when encountering the awkward land bridge on the road by Desert Blume, insist on staying in their lane and slowly going over it, when, in reality all they have to do is go around it in the other lane and make life easier for themselves.

This senior loves receiving scam calls. I get to spew off a string of colourful language, guilt free, and they hang up on me. Wonderful.

Why is the price of gas so high in Medicine Hat when most of the rest of Alberta less? For example, Red Deer prices are only $1.17.9 and ours is $1.25.9.
