Tickled Pink

To read Scott Schmitt’s column on Feb. 5. He offered a clear picture of the incompeten­t and harmful way Alberta’s government is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tickled Pink

A big thankyou to the Medicine Hat police, the EMS and ER doctors and staff who attended a family emergency. Thank you for your hard work. You were very respectful and profession­al and the outcome was successful.

Ticked Off

Kenney does not need to apologize for his AIDS comparison for the non-shot. Over these years I have been continuall­y treated like I could kill someone at any moment just by my presence. I have had family members and previously close friends choose to disconnect from my life while perfectly healthy friends lose their livelihood­s. I have been unable to take part in society. What have we become?

Ticked Off

Got my latest utility bill, almost every single extra fee went up, that is ridiculous.

Ticked Off

I checked multiple job websites and noticed that most companies looking to hire semi-truck drivers require mandatory drug and alcohol testing. I guess that isn’t considered as taking away your “freedom” when you are looking for employment in the trucking industry.

Just when the majority of fully-vaccinated citizens in Alberta were starting to feel comfortabl­e about going into restaurant­s, bars because of the passports, now our premier is punishing the fully vaccinated again by letting in those people who are not vaccinated. Thanks Premier Kenney!

Tickled Pink

Tickled pink the upper coulee paths in NE and NW Crescent Heights have been almost clear of any trash every time I walk. Way to go! What beautiful views from those paths!

Don’t you just hate it when you go to a nice restaurant, and a couple come and sit near you, and the man keeps his cap on throughout the entire meal!?

Tickled Pink

Tickled pink that the city has installed LED street lights.

Ticked Off

Ticked off that the border blockades will result in loss of Canadian jobs through U.S. industries finding other sources of parts to build their products. Not to mention Canadians having to pay higher prices for products imported from the U.S. I guess freedom comes at a cost, but is it worth it?
