Going pro
Halifax became a major sports town for a day last June, when the Canadian Football League staged a game at Huskies Stadium, home of the Saint Mary’s Huskies. Before a crowd of 11,000 fans, the Toronto Argonauts and the Hamilton Tigercats played to a 16-16 tie. It went much better than the last time the […]

Savage Love bonus letters
I have a GGG question. I like it a lot when my girlfriend calls me “daddy” during sex. In fact I’d like it even more if she would carry out the theme a bit. I want to hear what a bad girl she has been and how she needs a good screwing from her daddy. […]

Struggle for life
Stephen Lewis is a man consumed, but then, that’s not news. Lewis, the United Nations special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa is known as much for his passion for Africa as for anything else in his life—his diplomacy, his career as leader of Ontario’s NDP, his famous family (he’s married to journalist Michele Landsberg, is […]

Not-so-instant star
Stephens Gerard Malone’s first novel, Miss Elva, sat in a trunk for 10 years after he wrote it, before it was published this year by Random House. Actually, that’s not strictly true. His first first novel was called Endless Bay. He wrote it in 1994 and published it under a pseudonym. It’s not what you’re […]

Savage Love Web Extra
SASA wasn’t assaulted or raped. Adults are responsible for the boundaries of their consent and SASA put very few limits upon what he was willing to do. My spidey sense was tingling at the thought of entering, not once, but twice, an unfamiliar, darkened apartment that belonged to persons unknown. (Yikes! Run!) Once inside, SASA […]

“When the RCMP took me away that day, they said ‘Don’t come back here, Mrs. King. If you come back here, next time we see you, you’ll be in a body bag.’” And Donna King didn’t go back to her abusive husband that day, or any other. Instead, she went first to emergency shelter Bryony […]

Ship shape

Pipe Dreams
As Matt Healy bobs up and down in the ocean just off of Lawrencetown Beach, he is completely indistinguishable from the other 20 surfers in the water—they all look the same from the shore. It doesn’t help that every single one of them is covered from neck to ankle in black neoprene to block out […]

Ramping up
The history of the Halifax skateboard scene is not available at your local library. It cannot be found on some authoritative website, and there is no dark, musty vault somewhere collecting all of the names and dates that have shaped the local skate community for the past 20 years. But there is Tyler Knowlton’s scrapbox. […]
