Thank you for joining me on that empty dance-floor over a decade ago. If it wasn’t for your sense of adventure, we wouldn’t be here today. —French Canadian

These piggies are cooked
I have no trust in the Halifax Regional Police. If even half the accusations in just the past year are false, they are still one of the slimiest gangs of criminals in this province. Violence, rape, theft: You name it and someone in the HRP has (allegedly) gotten away with it. Public safety is already falling […]
It’s not actually my job
You never know how disrespectful and messy people are until you work at a gym. For some reason, members LOVE to neglect cleaning up after themselves. Every day plates are left on the ground, yoga mats not rolled up—or they’re just draped carelessly OVER the other neatly rolled mats. There’s equipment being moved to different […]
To the dump truck driver with the blowout
On Tuesday afternoon, I was cycling on Main Road in Eastern Passage when you passed me. Just as you came alongside me, your right front tire blew out. Thanks to your skill and experience, I didn’t even realize what happened until you were well ahead of me. I know how dangerous blowouts can be, and […]
Tacky business moves
So I have nothing against businesses moving into the north end—it’s a good thing—but I do think it’s tacky to exploit the area to sell stuff, especially when it’s not even stuff that is of benefit to the local people. I’m also worried that I’ll eventually be kicked out to make more room for hipster […]
Not sure why I keep coming back
After running into you by chance following a tumultuous two weeks that Saturday night on Pizza Corner, you broke up a fight and left me without a goodbye. Is that really how you wanted to leave things? —Not sure why I keep coming back
Hero of the day
An off-duty Metro Transit worker helps an elderly lady safely cross the street. —Thank you for being you
Couldn’t have happened to more deserving people
As a former employee, I read about your business being vandalized with no small satisfaction. You are condescending snobs who treat your employees as though they are unworthy of your presence. You speak about them in third person while they are present, you never say thank you, and you flaunt your wealth while paying crap […]
You look like an idiot
I was walking down Robie Street when a car drove by me with windows down and a guy in the car let out a scream directly at me. A full-fledged scream out of nowhere. Why? Fuck you. —Pedestrian
Street sweepers need to fuck off
Why has the street sweeper come down my street three times in the same night between 1 am and 3:30 am? The same street three fucking times. Why??? It’s loud as fuck and wakes me up every time. What is the point of even having a street sweeper? What exactly is it sweeping up? Some […]
Best of all?
You were simply the most toxic person I have ever involved myself with. Every day was a battle. Lots of love, though. I hope you’re at least somewhat happy now. But if you could please stop speaking so poorly of someone who only tried to help? I don’t expect it to happen—I am aware that […]
Disability Support Program from community services
The program is not doing enough for people with physical and mental health disabilities. If a person tries to go get help on their own, like for the proper therapy in helping with PTSD, well, community services considers going to school work, not therapy, so they make you sign up for employment works! If a […]
