[Image-1] For the love of God, people. Why does such a basic rule of the road seem to be completely unknown to so many drivers? Listen, crosswalks exist at every intersection, MARKED OR UNMARKED. It’s not complicated. If there is an intersection there is a crosswalk. Four, actually, at most intersections. I’m pretty sick of…
Why is it that every shopping cart in Walmart seems to be dragged around by a brain dead potato? It’s like these carts are deliberately left in the middle of the damn store. So when you scrape mr. asshole’s cart out of the way; his head starts to spin and suddenly I’m the scum of…

It’s become increasingly difficult to feel safe as a woman in Halifax, in this world. Our desire to feel safe and comfortable is mocked, criticized and ignored. Every mistake we make is thrown in our face and used to prove that we don’t deserve any better. –East-coast woman
I order a pizza, eat half that night…The next morning I reheat some more for breakie. As I chewed, I felt something tickle the back of my throat. Was it stringy melted cheese? No. It was a long black hair. I have short blonde hair. WTF! —#hairnet

Ok, serious bitch here. In 2015, most of us get to enjoy a feb16 stat holiday, something that 6 other provinces are already doing. But guess what? This is not a federal statutory holiday, it is a valid holiday in our NS labour code, so most of us get the time off or the holiday…
To the boy from MSVU, who travelled on the 3:30 81 toward Halifax yesterday, I noticed you because you are handsome, in an unassuming way. Your tall, dark, handsome looks are obviously attractive.

Where does the author of this article from the current edition of “The Coast” think that the money comes from to operate things like the branded EMERA Oval?? From EMERA!

The Globe and Mail published this Animated view of Halifax’s Nova Centre yesterday with its story about the convention centre.

[Image-1] Names are powerful things. They’re not just signifiers, but the means with which you and I can talk about our shared environment. That becomes annoying when the language is infected with sponsored advertisements. It’s regrettable then, that Halifax is so eager to sell pieces of itself off to the highest bidder. There was BMO,…

Business mag Forbes published a glowing report recently on their website about Halifax’s “Be Bold” branding. The thing is, writer Victor W.

I have been delivering pizzas for about 4 months now- it’s fun and I enjoy it. But I am blown away by the number of people in our fair city who DON”T tip for their delivery. What the hell! You can drop 20, 30, even 40 bucks on one meal, but you’re too broke to…

The reviewers concluded that veterans were not very successful in meeting their employment goals. Furthermore, the financial benefits available to injured veterans “may be deterring veterans from actively participating in the vocational aspects of the program and the labour force.” http://news.nationalpost.com/2015/01/02/some-ex-soldiers-are-exaggerating-injuries-so-they-dont-have-to-get-a-new-job-veterans-affairs/ —disgusted dog Molly

[Image-1] Old, ineffective streetlights across downtown Halifax leave streets ill-lit after dusk. For those who commute every day in a city with a higher-than-national assault rate, the darkness around them is an issue of concern. “As soon as it’s dim out—not even dark—I’m always thinking ‘What’s the lighting like? Where am I? How big is…

[Image-1] Halifax’s RCMP forensic lab is closing in March—a move that will either make our clogged justice system more efficient, or delay it further.

Criticism, as Winston Churchill said, may not be agreeable but it is necessary. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things. Yet every time some persnickety pundit highlights a civic flaw they’re dismissed as putting the “No” in “Nova Scotia.” It’s ironic, how negatively many folks view negative thinking. Quite juvenile, as well, to…
