I was just walking across the street when a short little dweeb of a guy also crossing in the opposite direction passed me and said this rude comment: “You know it, Fatty!” I know what? Next time you try to disparage a girl, can you at least try to make sense? WTF, dude. You look […]

What’s wrong with “you people”?
Whether it is somebody saying “you people” in a context that appears discriminatory, or somebody seemingly making a broad generalization about hockey players being “bullies,” why is the immediate reaction of so many people in either of the instances to demand that offender to be removed from their chosen career or livelihood? I don’t agree […]
Gypsy cover band
Dancing to Fleetwood Mac, we chatted about your cool world tattoo and our love of the band and our mutual friend. Bass player is your cousin and I was rockin’ a moustache. Our moment was ruined by a drunk guy, and you had to leave. We should talk again. —Dancefloor Smitten
Jay walker
To the guy jay-walking in Spryfield with his dog on a cold and rainy night: That’s how you get hit, bro. I didn’t see you until the last second. Count your lucky stars that I did. And here’s a fun fact—you’re the one who’ll get the ticket, not me. A nice little added bit of […]
One for the road
Thank you to the amazing cab driver, bar patrons and staff, and anyone else who saw my brother on his big night in downtown Halifax. He was visiting from TO and had too much to drink while out partying with his friends. Shout-out to the amazing night owls out there who may have met him […]
Citadel Hill staff
Big shout-out to the Sean Connery lookalike who I think is in charge of security at Citadel Hill. Our little guy was looking at a long stay in the hospital. He has a little boy’s fascination with big guns, so on the way to the IWK we stopped to tour the fort when it was […]
Dirty man
I am calling out the man with racist tattoos who always wears the same sweater. This man has been tested positive for HIV and is still sleeping around with women UNPROTECTED. This man has raised his hands to every woman I know of that he had relations with, and then cries afterwards. He’s a racist […]
I found my heart and soul in Halifax
Growing up in Ontario and raised by a well-read and well-travelled family, I was always encouraged to travel somewhere alone, where I had never been before and to live there for awhile. You know? Really do some soul searching and rediscover myself all over again while learning to love myself even more. Truthfully, in the […]
To the cute bouncer at a trendy nightclub
We met a while ago when I was home for a visit. I didn’t know then that I’d become so smitten with you over the months to come. Although we live in different places, I keep hoping you’ll give this a real try. —Your Sarcastic Toronto Friend
Human rights violation on Halifax Transit
We’ve invested millions to upgrade the transit buses with modern tech. Each bus has a digital display that shows the next stop, and “stop requested” when required. I’ve been on at least six buses this year, that the stop request isn’t displayed. I had my headphones on and didn’t hear the bell. So as far […]
Illegal parkers!
To those who work in the Agricola Street area: Please don’t park on Agricola Street! You are illegally parked and you make it difficult for clients of the small businesses on Agricola! Park in residential areas and walk a little farther! Be considerate of the community you work in! —Small Business Trying To Make A […]
You’re a music ruiner!
Hey, Sunday night mothership radio host: Stop talking over the goddamn music!! Fucking cacophony. —Sore Ears
