I went into an NSLC that sells cannabis for the first time to make a purchase. I started at the iPads that they had to use. I thought that I was to search for the strain I wanted and then get in line to make a purchase but that’s not what they’re set up for. […]

Free the Leash
WTF Halifax? Long Lake Provincial Park, over 2,000 hectares and nary a centimetre dedicated for dogs to run and swim, unless you risk being fined. There is room for all. FTL (Free the Leash). —Johnny FTHC
Poverty Reduction Working Group
There was a bill passed unanimously in December of 2007 by the House of Assembly: bill 94. This bill was to establish the Poverty Reduction Working Group (PRWG), whose mandate was to prepare a report for the government by June 30,2008. You’d think the government would act on the recommendations of the PRWG, after all […]
to the muse
you’re in my class and I like what you talk about when you talk about love. your tenderness is refreshing, and your ability to be vulnerable is rare. I hope you find a love worth dying for. —the poet
It’s not me, it’s you
I couldn’t fathom calling you pathetic. How hurtful would that be? How deeply would it cut? I’ve never been in a place where I wanted to cut you that deeply. Pathetic, maybe I am. When you roll the word around in your mouth it starts to lose its sharp edge, that same edge it sliced […]
Stop Being Shitty to Homeless People
I started writing this long rant debunking every single point that people make about why it’s bad to give money to homeless people, and I just got really fucking sad that I felt it was necessary. The other day I gave a $10 bill to a guy who panhandles downtown near the ferry terminal. I […]
ATTN: Door-to-door salespeople
When someone is pointedly ignoring you while slouching home at the end of a hot day, take the hint and move on to the next rube. Whistling at me and shouting “Hey!” like I’m a fucking stray dog isn’t going to convince me to buy your bullshit in the best of moods. —No I’m not […]
Dear Fuckboys
If ya’ll losers want to get some this spring fling season, get off Tinder and join the land of the living. Bring back chivalry and etiquette, the art of courtship. Carry yourselves with class. If you want to date me, you will need to ask me out on a date 48 hours in advance. So […]
Do you doubt the process?
I’ve been feeling so much power recently. Knowing I’ll see you again soon makes everyday more exciting than the next. Your bright blonde-haired beauty is unique for a man, but you make it work and my heart is full and inquisitive and pure bliss. —Yes or no
Reheated leftovers are garbage
I urge you to love yourself more than that guy. He might seem complimentary to your culinary skills, but I can assure you he’s not the right fit. I went back for seconds because he said he changed the whole menu; new, improved, full of heaping amounts of respect, apologies; by his accounts a changed […]
WTF
this guy at my work decided to start smelling my toes from the next cubicle over and i feel like he is trying to lick them now —creepy steve
To the Half Marathon 2:25 Pace Bunny
Thanks to the Memorial Cup, Bluenose Marathon Weekend was three weeks later than usual. I am not used to running in the heat so I adjusted my pace accordingly. I still wanted to finish strong. We held hands and crossed the Finish Line together, even though I was completing the 15K and not the […]
