Not a Bitch but an apology to the couple riding in Shubie on Saturday afternoon. My daughter wiped out as we met you on a blind corner. I was rude to you and I had no reason to be, nor excuse. I’m sorry. I hope my behaviour didn’t detract from your ride on what was […]

My fave legal dealer
To the guy with the curly hair and glasses who works at one of the NSLC’s dope counters: I play the line game trying to get you but I always end up at the other guy’s tilt. Such a bummer as you are lovely. I wonder if you’re single? —Can I have a receipt […]

Can’t we just be nice to everyone
I‘m tired of being treated like shit by my customers in the retail industry (and I’m sure other industries feel this too). It is my job to talk to you when you walk into my store. I have to say hello. I have to ask you if you need any help. It’s my job to […]

Thank you for the boost!
To the shark-suited guitar-playing guy and his amazing entourage on Inglis Street on Bluenose marathon Sunday: thank you! Your singing and dancing gave me a well-needed boost to climb that hill during the marathon. It cheered me up for several kilometres and I still smile just thinking about it! You guys rock! —Sweaty McRedface

Soundscape pollution
Finally folks are back on the Common in force, enacting their right to chill and not be messed with. It’s a special preserve that no rich developer can buy, no bank can rename in their glory and no advertising will be seen. It’s great and for the most part people do a pretty good job […]

Bussin’ in bed
Most metro transit drivers must be awful in bed: Jerking and bumpin’, going way too fast and coming too early or not at all. Meanwhile, there’s those car people: All alone and thinking they are the most skilled.—Walking and celibate-ing

Retro Night Bitch
To the intoxicated girl who felt obliged to violate my personal space and attempted to steal my hat in a dramatic and drawn-out public fashion. I have some unapologetic and heartfelt words of wisdom for you. The way you conducted yourself as an “adult” in a public space was embarrassing and rude in a truly […]

Where are the 2% and 5% increases from income assistance?
Why is the government reneging on their promises? We the people in poverty are still waiting, since 2006. You can see it every time a story hits the news about how people living on income assistance are in dire straits and going hungry. When those reporters ask questions about what is going on, the answer […]

Long Distance Love
After a few years away from Halifax, I’ve only grown to love it even more. I’ve talked about Halifax so positively and extensively that almost every single one of the friends I’ve made in Vancouver is dead-set on visiting. The Seaport Market, bike routes in Dartmouth, the Frog Pond, DeeDee’s, Trident Coffee, the Hydrostone… People […]

You’re positively beautiful!
I love your attitude. We can all learn something from you! Thanks for making my day! You were just leaving the breast-screening clinic when you turned to the rest of us waiting, smiled, and proudly exclaimed that it only takes half the time when you only have one breast. Your comment provoked many smiles […]

You’re sweetness and light
It’s been years since we sat on the bed, eating applesauce hand-in-hand. Then, the other day, you welcomed me home with an apple cider and it was like an ocean of time but also only a drop had passed since that morning. I love you. I love you. I love you. —still mushy
