The forget-me-nots are out again, and you’re back on my brain. Not that you ever leave for too long. Like those little blue flowers, you always come back. —I knew where to look for you…
Team Coast
Dear Big Library
Am I just confused or did you tweet a giant rainbow display with “Happy Pride” signage this week? Last I checked Pride is celebrated during July here in Halifax. LGBTQ+ Pride (month/week) is celebrated at different times in different parts of the world. Seriously–do a quick google check. Shockingly us queers don’t walk around saying […]
Thanks to the CTF
Thanks to the Canadian Taxpayer Federation for bringing up the issue of MLA pensions again. This province needs to live within its means and to do that there is a need for an appropriate type of pension for the politicians. Two other things I wish they would look at: 1) The issue of public sector […]
I’m sorry!
To the blind woman on Gottingen Street Monday night: You were trying to cross at the light at Cornwallis and the beeper was broken so you couldn’t tell if you could go or not. I watched you tentatively step out into the street just as my light was about to turn green. I tried to […]
I don’t hate you, I pity you
You cheated and then lied over and over. You refused to earn my trust back, but still blame me for leaving. When you grow up you’re going to be sad and lonely. I don’t hate you, but I think you’re pathetic. I’m going to Michelle Obama this shit and go high, because you’re about as […]
Best Humans in Halifax
After getting into a pretty crappy accident on the night of June 3, we had the absolute pleasure of being taken care of by some of the best humans I have ever met. EMS, Halifax Regional Police and Fire, tow truck drivers, passing pedestrians, and commissionaires were quick to the scene and took care of […]
Another day of faces
I’m stretching my skins, elastic band but reaching through. Climbing into your rhythms, you didn’t think anyone could. But I scream into the air like you, those naked tracks of silence, flashes of pain, pressing blue. —Hitting repeat
French fry love, except…
…you use your bare hands to add toppings to my fries. No. Please. Use tongs or wear gloves, I don’t know where your hands have been, and, dude, it must be a health violation. I want to keep coming back, I really do, but this makes me throw up a little in my mouth. —Cootie […]
Jerk at the end of the line
Why are all the taxi cab dispatchers in this city grumpy pieces of trash? Every time, every company, the dispatcher sounds like I’m doing something wrong. Why so shitty? My job sucks too, lots of people hate their job. You don’t, and really shouldn’t take it out on the customers. Bring on Uber! —Paying customer […]
Kudos to a job well done with integrity and charisma
Great job to the long-haired dude that helped me today at a certain brewing company on Gottingen close to Citadel Hill. You were very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and a generally cool cat. You really seemed to enjoy what you were doing and are a definite ppl person. Thanks for introducing me to some new flavours! […]
Just go through
Can you guys who must stop at every junction in the Macdonald Bridge just get over it! You are slowing the traffic sometimes to a halt causing unnecessary delay, increased transportation costs and environmental damage. The bumps on the bridge are no worse than many you will find in highways. You do not have to […]
Increasing the vote
Here’s an idea…How about those who vote in an election are saved to the voter registry and are automatically allowed to vote in the next election. Those who didn’t vote, for whatever reason, are removed from the voter registry and must submit an application if they wish ever to vote again. That way those who […]
