So this week a couple of guys from St. FX were found not guilty of sexual assault. The judge found that the three-way they had with an unnamed woman was by all accounts consensual (seems there were partygoers and others wandering into the bedroom from time to time who became witnesses). My Bitch is why […]
Team Coast
Got your name, but not your number
I‘m generally not one to talk up strangers in grocery store check-out lines, but there was something about our exchange of smiles and gazes around the store that compelled me to check out with you. Watching you shudder, then laugh was the perfect reaction to me describing my art. I shouldn’t have let you leave […]
Good times…
It took four hours to get home from work the other night due to the storm, including 90 minutes outside waiting for the bus (any bus) to show up. Luckily I wasn’t alone. Shout out to my new bus stop friends. Red jacket guy, “I went all the way to Sackville” girl, lotsa cursing man, […]
Love for The Coast
My very first job was delivering The Daily News as a teenager; sad to see Metro go. Have been reading The Coast since you first started. Hope you find the printer that is right for you so we can all continue reading your great Halifax paper. Cheers! —Sporty Forty
Maybe hire a copy editor too
Hiring managers of the HRM, please run your job titles and descriptions through a spellchecker before publishing positions to job boards. It isn’t clear if the title “Escavator Operator” involves construction or maintaining automatic stairs. Your “Costumer Service” role involves no dressing up, and I am concerned if your restaurant needs a “Shit Manager” (I […]

Cosmic love
I never thought I’d meet anyone that I loved like I loved her. I thought that the days of butterflies were long behind me. Never did I expect for you to be the one I wanted to stay up with late at night. Wake up beside. And kiss every day for the rest of my […]
Addiction awareness
Hey The Coast. Good job having two articles talking about addiction followed immediately by an article about a new drinking hole. Do you realize that alcohol is the biggest addiction issue in Nova Scotia? —Lame Game
Own your mistakes, clown
To the older gentleman who decided to yell and beep at me, driving disturbingly close to me in your ill-timed attempt to turn left as I crossed the street at the Young/Robie intersection Sunday afternoon. I refuse to move through the world without publicly voicing that you are in fact the one who is lacking […]
Best bus driver in HRM
I want to shout out the driver of the 3 who always stops for people when they’re running to catch his bus. You’ve saved my roommate and I from being late for work numerous times, and I’m sure there are others who can say the same! In all my years of being a Halifax Transit […]
Produce never sleeps
2019 is almost over. Don’t you want to fulfill your resolution? Tell me bad jokes and I’ll kill your spiders. —Blueberry
Uncomfortably numb
Hey, neighbour (or visitor): The loud and annoying alarm on your precious vehicle, parked in downtown Dartmouth somewhere near the King’s Wharf area, started blasting at various intervals shortly after 6pm on Sunday and continued at least through 6am Monday. This is a district in which shift workers, health-care staffers, students, the elderly and people […]
