I just spent the better part of 10 bucks (8.99) on what I thought were maxi pads, only to get to work and realize I had bought stupid panty liners. The picture on the front of the packaging looked like a puffy maxi pad and the writing on the packaging that read “daily liners” was […]

Wall of runners
Attention running groups of Halifax: stop blocking the fucking sidewalks. Running shoulder to shoulder on the sidewalk and forcing pedestrians to move out of your way when common courtesy is to do the opposite is obnoxious as fuck.—an embarrassed fellow runner
Temporary business hours
My wife and I banned a certain fish and chip place due to the fact it was closed without notice every time we decided to visit it. Today, we decided to lift the ban after two years and revisit the place. However, to our surprise, the business is closed for a week. Sorry, the ban […]
Your time is through
Other things that need eradication are man buns( Super greasy! Mate that with a beard and you’re another Ben Kaplan knockoff!) Also, ball caps worn other than with the bill facing forward look so douchy. It makes those that see it dumber by the experience. Leave it for history J Rock, know what I’m sayin”? […]
Cure for my landlocked blues…
Halifax is the best cure for my landlocked blues. Like many, I’ve moved west for work and made a good life. In a few weeks, though, I’ll be back for a short visit. Point Pleasant Park, the Citadel, Spring Garden and the market are where I’ll be first. The salt -inged air, friendly faces and […]
CSA all the way
Every week, every single week, for the past four months (and counting!) you take time from what I can only assume is an incredibly busy farm life to come into the city. You hand-deliver not only your organic produce, but also your eggs, fruit and pasture-raised meats to my community. Everything is grown with such […]
Halifax is a garbage dump
What a pigsty. Garbage, garbage everywhere. Mayor Savage, you should be ashamed.—Bluenoze
Thrift shop stank fest
I went into my neighborhood thrift shop for a peek the other day and couldn’t stand the stink of the place. No, I’m not necessarily talking about that dusty, thrift shop smell that all of them have, I’m talking about the shoppers! OMG, every person I walked past just reeked! First, there was this old […]
Please please please stop touching me
I know you don’t mean any harm by it and it’s just your way of being friendly, but it makes me and a bunch of other people we work with really uncomfortable. You don’t need to run your hand across my shoulders or waist when you first come in for the day, you don’t need […]
Crazy-ass drivers
What is the matter with Halifax drivers? So fucking many use signal lights as afterthoughts—if at all. Others roar through red lights like bats outta hell, change lanes like surrounding drivers have mental fucking telepathy, or tailgate while primping their hair or eye-fucking their smartphone. Every one of those numb fucks deserve to careen into […]
Where’s the diversity?
Why is every “Shop Talk” article about another privileged white person starting something in Halifax? Are there not any diverse entrepreneurs you can cover or are they all white? Just an observation.—POC
Girls are the best
A few weeks ago I was dancing and singing at The Seahorse and I keep going back to a moment of bliss where you leaned into me and we belted out a song together. It felt nice to be noticed by you. I needed it. Thanks for the flirty green garland. —A girl has no […]
