Penal system viable: John Howard Society in Alberta campaign
Alberta John Howard Society promotes that Canada’s parole and prison system works better than many think. Ross Briosi of Medicine Hat argues parole saves taxpayers money and shows most parolees complete their terms under supervision. He cites a 15 percent recent Alberta parole approval rate and emphasizes probation for youth, while criticizing long jail terms and praising programs like day parole and community release centers.

Hargrave backs bilingualismجو but blasts government
Medicine Hat MP Bert Hargrave voted for the federal bilingualism resolution while condemning the Trudeau government for bringing it before Parliament He said the issue was overblown and that the resolution simply reaffirms the Official Languages Act 1969 and assures fair treatment for unilingual civil servants He supported Stanfield's amendment to incorporate functional bilingual public service into the act but opposed a twin English French branch proposal He noted little constituent correspondence and argued bilingualism is not a major local concern and should be voluntary for learning French in English Canada
