I watched the entire state of the city and my question is, WTF? This was the most negative address, which makes zero sense considering the mayor got to pick the format. What happened to all of the uplifting videos from all of the departments providing updates and plans? Also, WTF at council for sitting at a table, scowling and not clapping at anything- what a team. One more- WTF at the news platforms for not acknowledging how awful it was.

To kiss Trump's ass, Danielle smith and her corrupt crew is sending violent jack booted thugs to the border for a problem that doesn't even exist. This show of force purpose is to instil fear onto immigrants and asylum seekers. So out of fear of being deported themselves, they tattle on their fellow human beings. This must be resisted. This uptake of cruelty is not just going to end in 4 years as the climate crisis increases. People of consciousness must resist. One of the most effective tools of resistance is having churches that offer sanctuary to immigrants and asylum seekers both "legal" and otherwise.. I would like to talk to church leaders. If you are a Church leader you can reach out to me. I will keep your info anonymous. Email me at woodsbre@gmail.com

Beginning next week, there will be a bring your own games night at the Kiwanis center (the old Elizabeth Street School). It will be every first and third Friday of the month for now, with hopes to make it every Friday eventually.

Entry is $5, and there will be cans of pop and small bags of chips for $1 each. Cash only.

This is run 100% by volunteers and all money collected is going directly to the Kiwanis center to help with operations costs. The center provides space for many community groups at an affordable rent. Things like Wellspring cancer support group, women's self defense, the medicine hat chess club, and the medicine hat rock and lapidary club all use this space.

The local discord server has a spot set up for people to use to organize games if they want to as well. It can be found here: https://discord.gg/emnYEySc

Games will not be provided at this point. Any tabletop game is welcome whether it's board games, cards, or D&D. I hope to see some of you there to have fun and support a great community resource!

Hey y'all! I'm Jazz (19F) and I am from India. I've noticed that whenever I go out I see people staring at me ( mostly white old people) and when I look back at them they look away. I am lowkey confused why I get stares ? Is it because they're racist? Or are they just curious?( Cuz back in my country some people tend to stare at foreigners not because they're racist but because they're curious? ( I know its really weird) ) OR are they just checking me out ? I want to know what people of hat actually think about other races? I've friends from different cultures and ethnicity at school and I've never faced this in school . It only happens whenever I got out . Also, I am sorry for any grammatical mistakes, English isn't my first language.

I assume a lot of people are coming up on mortgage renewals. Being a smaller centre, we dont have the huge amount of banks to pick from. Online there are a few as well

Wondering what rates people are getting on fixed terms. With the Bank of Canada rate cut we should see things going down

But with this looming tarriff Feb 1st, no one knows what can happen.

We live in the trailer park on 13th Ave SE. We own our 'house' outright and just pay lot fees. The park now wants to charge us a pet fee per month. Is this allowed if we are only paying a lot fee but own our place?

Edited to add, $25 per month PER pet.

I’ve searched on the City website, CHAT News, MH News, MH Kiwanis, Gas City Kiwanis and Mayor Clark’s speech from Tuesday is nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile every State of the City dating back to Mayor Boucher’s first term is readily available.

I really don’t like to speculate but (at this point it’s difficult it not to). Is there a good reason why her address to Hatters is nowhere to be seen or heard?

People who have gone or know someone who have gone to saint Mary's school is it a good place to send children. Why or why not?

Over the past 20 years we’ve seen some world class talent visit MH to perform. Do we want to keep them coming?

The City of Medicine Hat has announced the creation of a new volunteer board, tasked with bringing your personal opinions and perspectives to determine the acts that we need to pursue to perform at local city-owned venues.

They’d like a broad range of opinions so if you feel you have something to offer, here’s the information.

I cannot wait to eat that meat sludge from Taco Bell.

CAUSE NOW, IT SEEMS IM WIDE AWAKE IN THIS DREAM AND ID DO ANYTHING TO STAY HERE FOREVER 🎵

Medicine Hat: where the prairie winds blow and turn signals are just a "suggestion." Is it a game? A test of reflexes? Or are we collectively saving blinker fluid for the apocalypse? Meanwhile, outsiders think we're waving hello with every lane change. Stay classy, Hatters - signal your moves like the gas city legends we are! 🚗💨

Look I know nothing about geology & erosion, but I do know that nothing in this world is forever.

Are you guys watching this home come together overlooking Kingsway-Kipling on the SE Hill?

What an interesting location for what appears to be a dream home. But I’ll be honest… I’m not sure I’d want a 30 foot cliff 5 feet from my back door.

I bet it’s spectacular inside tho! Anybody know who it belongs to?

My family is looking to move to the Alberta area over the summer, specifically MH. I have a 12 year old on the spectrum that requires significant services that he’s currently getting through his school in the states.

Does anyone know of available resources in the area for special needs services? Thanks so much!

took this as the sun was setting, now that I look at it, with how blurry it is it kinda looks like a thumbnail for a vhs horror video on YouTube, or the thumbnail of a video that was recorded on a Camcorder

for real, there’s lights on and a bunch of cars in the parking lot but nobody answers the phone when i call. does anybody know if it’s open/ when it’s supposed to finally open?

EDIT: thank fucking god. i have finally had a cheesy gordita crunch

Hi everyone,

My husband, who is late 20s, just moved here from the Czech Republic and I’m just wondering if there are any people from these countries or Europe in general so he doesn’t feel too home sick.

Or just any way to make new friends in general

Thanks for your help

Anyone know any good clubs in the area?

Hey ! I am Jazz . I'm looking for a reputable tattoo artist who can do an inner lip tattoo on me ( it's gonna be a small text probably of like 3-4 alphabets) . I'd really appreciate it if you guys can suggest me some and give me a price estimate. Thanks!

Calvin Maltin, local businessman has announced his candidacy for Mayor in the 2025 civic election.

Hi everyone,

I moved here in September and I’m wondering if there’s any good bbq / smoked meat places here? I’m missing getting the meat sweats.

Thanks!
