To entitled dog owners: It is very uncool you think your canines are so obedient that you walk them off-leash in public spaces. In these public spaces are people who are afraid of dogs, people who have dogs with issues and children. It’s obvious that these entitled owners have no respect for others. I feel […]

Unpopular opinion: The south end is disgusting
Once a respected neighbourhood, Halifax’s south end has turned into a slum yard of half-empty take-out containers and dog shit. The garbage disposal leaves much to be desired, as most of the bags are rejected and left to feed a family of pigeons. Populated by students and landlords, the south end is anything but historical.—Taking […]
Fuck rape culture and abuse apologists in Halifax
Women deserve better.—Angry Femme
You are a no-good, awful, man
But this bitch is for myself, because I still love you. I will never, ever, say it, but I do.—Dumb bitch
Home sweet home
Really good ice cream! Visible soil! Cool events! The Coast! Halifax, I missed you so much. No matter how many new buildings have popped up, how many new craters have appeared in the ground, and how many people have up and left for Toronto, you are still the place for me. I am so happy […]
Halifax offers a beer lifestyle on a champagne budget
I had to leave Halifax because I could not afford to live there. I had a decent professional job with full benefits and pension. I worked in the arts sector and made about $50,000 a year—not bad for mid-level position with a non-profit in NS (my counterparts in Ottawa made $70,000 a year for the […]
Slumlord savings
My neighbours and I haven’t had heat or hot water in three days thanks to our piece-of-shit slumlord who lets the oil tank run dry. I think he does this on purpose every now and then to save money. No tenants can use heat or hot water for a week, probably saving him a lot […]
To my big dog (that’s gotta eat)
I hope to one day create a soup that you will love more then your 3am pizza slices. Until then buckle up! We are in for a soupy ride.—Can’t stop, won’t stop soup queen
Cider cutie
The first time I noticed you was last summer, when your hair was a purple, hot mess. You had held the door open for me. I didn’t thank you because fuck that patriarchal sentiment. I quickly walked past but only after checking you out cause damn you’re good looking. Nowadays I can’t stop looking. You’ve […]
Toughie townie trash
Since moving to downtown Dartmouth, I sure don’t find the people to be very friendly here. One day, while walking home, I noticed a man slumped over a wall in front of the drugstore. I wondered if he was okay and looked back to check. My concern was met with an irate woman who was […]
Traffic
Why the fuck isn’t the city doing the road work at night, like all of Europe does?—Fiddler
WHY
Use your turn indicators well before your turn and stop wearing your ball caps backwards or to the side.—Walking with coffee
