Frustrated with the rental situation in this town. You’re limited to apartments meant for students to share, or overpriced, soulless condos. Everything in the middle is being used for Airbnbs and nothing is left for the people that live here. Patiently waiting for the city to step in and regulate this shit. —Air Bnbitch

Hey boy boomers
Dear men, Women on the bus don’t want to talk to you. Or more accurately, they don’t want you to talk at them. Does she have headphones on? Is she reading? Or is she employing these strategies just to signal to you (because yes, this is about you) that she doesn’t want you to talk […]
Getting over you
This has been a long couple of months of not speaking to you. I thought it would be easier seeing how it ended with you physically assaulting me. I could see all the stress eating away my body and self-worth. At times I get so angry at your behaviour when we were together and other […]
Kudos to the bridge terminal staff
A big shout out to Dale and Aaron at the Lost and Found at the Metro Transit Bridge Terminal. I lost my wallet on one bus going to the bridge terminal from Dartmouth, and my cell phone on the bus going across the bridge to Halifax. I got the number for lost and found at […]
Blue and Tree
We bicker, we disagree, but at the end of the day, I love you and you love me. —(Naïve) Best Friend
Fire ants in your pants
Before the years ends, I want to send out this thank-you from a warmer time of year. I was walking my wiener dogs around the Forum and stopped to talk to new neighbours and their pup. When we walked away one of one mine started shrieking in pain and fell to the ground. You saw […]
Insane pedestrian
To the asshole who jaywalked into the intersection on Dresden, so that I had to brake sharply to avoid them, and then SMACKED MY CAR as I drove through: a) the concrete barrier on the east side doesn’t allow me to see the full intersection until I’m close to it, b) learn how to safely […]
Puppy dog–eyed poet proves poopy partner
She knew from the start. She said that something about him made her uneasy, like she wasn’t really wanted. His words said one thing, but his actions or lack thereof said quite another. But all the nice little things made her overlook the warning signs. He never asked her to be his therapist, but like […]
‘Tis the season
Dear Valued Customer: When I ask how your day is going and you snap “just looking,” it takes every thread of self control not to punch you in the throat. News flash: I don’t actually care whether your mom died five minutes ago or you’re getting married tomorrow. I’m just doing my job. If you […]
Spreading narcissism
If you genuinely want to create and spread love, just show up and be loving. It needs no public announcement or heralding on high to make you feel good about yourself. — A Humble Heart
Secret Santa
Thank you for my bottle of wine! It is greatly appreciated, especially after the day I endured today. I don’t know which one of you it was from, but thank you. —A Grateful Colleague
Joy to the world, Uber has come
I would love to share my general joy with the good people of Halifax, and my ultra-special joyous delight with the good hearted, kind, nice, fair, decent, moral people of the city’s taxi commission. I would love to see their faces when Uber and Lyft are in the city, rendering the existence of their office of extortion […]
