Something that has been causing a local stir recently is the newly re-launched and re-vamped community blog, MedHatBlog (formally referred to as “The Mad Hatter’s Weblog”). They also (probably jokingly/sarcastically) changed their motto from “Impartial and (mostly) unbiased options on Medicine Hat” to “Passionate and shamelessly biased opinions on Medicine Hat”.

MedHatBlog has always been known for the great political discussion and commentary, and now with the new one launching in prime election times, nothing has changed. There’s already a bunch of new posts talking about the election, issues, and the electoral candidates.

There have been quite a few Medicine Hat community sites popping up lately, Medicine Hat Media being one of the new kids on the block. There is also some more long-running community sites you might not be aware of (but chances are that you are). This post is dedicated to listing all the blog-like, social, or community based Medicine Hat sites that are out there. I have even posted some very obscure ones I found on my hunt.

Also known as “medhatblog”, The godfather’s of all alternatives to Medicine Hat Media, originally started in March of 2006 started with a simple concept, as stated by Skeet (one of the three bloggers):

The concept of this blog is to discuss all things pertaining to Medicine Hat in a candid, mainly factual style with open discussion. Something that you do not receive from the mainstream media. No sugar coating here. We will strive to make at least a post a day.

The general theme of the site appears (by the content) to be largely about breaking news and Medicine Hat/Canada politics, obviously in a less mainstream tone/setting. http://www.medhatblog.com/

This site (or forum) popped up at about the same time Medicine Hat Media did, but I never found it, even when doing extensive searches until recently when I found it in Google on a random Medicine Hat related search. It’s a Medicine Hat forum, exactly like the name suggests where users can discuss anything relating to Medicine Hat (and other stuff as well). http://www.medhatforums.com/

The Mad-CAPCS Of Medicine Hat

The Mad “C.A.P.C.S.” (Citizens of Alberta for Positive Community Standards) of Medicine Hat is a unique blog about political and social news about  and relating to the C.A.P.C.S. Originally posted and reported in length on the Mad Hatters blog, spider, the owner of The Mad-Capcs Of Medicine Hat started posting on his own site. There’s plenty of good articles on his site if you don’t know about any of this, but chances are you remember the incident when they ruled that bikinis were pornographic and shouldn’t be allowed in view of children (referring to magazines/books). http://mad-capcs.info/

Now for some of the more obscure ones:
