Ticked Off

That the Medicine Hat News is such a liberal newspaper. I wonder why anybody buys it. Just report the news.

Ticked Off

With all the hoopla and endless news coverage of marijuana legalizati­on. Now let’s get back to the real issues: economy, getting resources to market, etc.

Ticked Off

At this city’s arborists and policy makers who make it extremely difficult and expensive if one wants to take down a tree for a developmen­t, but are allowing the beavers to clear-cut over a dozen trees along the TransCanad­a Trail along the north side of the river.

Ticked Off

Why is it not considered assault to punch a teacher or education assistant in upper elementary? Especially when it happens to the same person from the same student more than once?

Ticked Off

What’s the point in recycling when the new company has no place to put the stuff? Tons of it just sat there.

Tickled Pink

There are so many people waiting for appointmen­ts for a specialist at the hospital. You do not have to wait. You have the right to get referred to Lethbridge or Calgary.

Ticked Off

You know the poor employers in this city when the same position are needing to be filled regularly. If you treat people correctly they don’t leave.

Tickled Pink

At the job Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are doing. I will be sure to vote for them again and again and again.

Tickled Pink

Why worry about Trump? Look at our own country which is going to pot.

Ticked Off

When around 80 to 90 per cent of the population don’t smoke pot would why Trudeau legalize this weed. Only two countries in the world do this.

Ticked Off

That the minority in our society is trying to dictate to the majority, trying to silence our voice.

Tickled Pink

Need more paint for all those rainbow sidewalks.

Ticked Off

Redcliff drivers, which part of ‘Do No Pass When Red Lights Flashing’ on the back of a school bus do you not understand?

Tickled Pink

That a Nobel Prize was announced for the American economist who showed that a carbon tax was a good idea to fight global warming. But ticked off that the UCP ignores such advice.

Ticked Off

I took in skating show at Canalta Centre and could not see most of it. Lady in front of us was videotapin­g the full show. What happened to common courtesy?

Tickled Pink

Many thanks to the motorboat couple who drove all the way back to Echo Dale to make sure the kayak ladies got back safely. We very much appreciate your kindness.

Ticked Off

The $6 million spent on the new announceme­nt on farm safety is about as stupid as the $22 million light bulb program was. The NDP has no common sense.

Ticked Off

The weeds are so high on Altawana Avenue that the small children getting off the school bus are having a terrible time.

Ticked Off

Pipeline protesters who obstruct constructi­on should be put in jail until constructi­on is completed. Government­s need to do something rather than just lip service.

Ticked Off

Two times in two weeks now the Tigers have been down a goal or two, but lo and behold, they come back and tie it up and win in overtime. So many people left with five minutes left. They’re just a bunch of fickle fans. It only takes me five extra minutes to get out of the parking lot.

Ticked Off

The biggest air polluters are airlines and two cycle engines, not coal-fired plants

Tickled Pink

With the lady who picks up litter while out for her walk in Ranchlands/Police Point. Another reason why this is such a fantastic neighbourh­ood.

Tickled Pink

That the Redcliff taxpayers are not paying for the mismanaged golf course.

Tickled Pink

That the Canalta Centre puts on great events, such as the figure skating, which was well attended. Shows we’re more than just a rink — events like that, and concerts, too.

Tickled Pink

That a lovely gentleman paid for breakfast for two seniors this morning at a local coffee shop. We appreciate it and will pay it forward.
