Just in case you losers didn’t look in the mirror: You ARE NOT FAMOUS AND NEITHER ARE YOU A PERFOMER. You guys give a new name to absolute loser! The fact that you think going out on a Friday night getting dressed up and thinking you are ‘performing’ blows me a way on how oblivious […]

To those who take the time to salt their sidewalks
Thank you! Over the past however many years, our weather has become much more icy than snowy and a lot (a LOT) of homeowners still just do a quick shovel or let the city deal with the sidewalks. Also, it seems fewer people are salting or gravelling their sidewalks (or doing it enough). As a […]

Decide, damnit!
Dear local school experiencing labour unrest, As a card-carrying member of Halifax’s Joe Q. Public, I absolutely love that you exist in our city. But for fuck’s sake, make up your mind already.

Weed
Hey all you hipsters and newbie advice columnists! Did you know weed isn’t a new thing? Did you know the black market has—and always will—outshine and out supply legal stores? The legal stores can’t even keep weed in stock and its shitty product at that. What, the cannabis store charges $75 for crap ditch weed […]

Respect accessibility
To the couple blocking the accessible parking spots outside a local community fitness centre, who, after I honked at you to move, yelled to me that ”patience is a virtue”: The rest of our confrontation is a bit of a blur, but let me tell you, I am the example of patience. I needed the […]

Where are the jobs, Hellifax?

All the employers in this province want you to work for nothing, contract positions with no vacation, breaks or lunches. You’re not even allowed to talk to fellow employees or customers. Nobody has any social skills because all […]

Happy birthday, Squeaks
I think I’ll start a February tradition, for me, because I doubt anyone will take the effort to write for me. A Special Thing? (I love reading the Loves in every Coast, wondering about the lives of these beautiful people). Yet I still want to write to you Sweets, not for myself. My poor heart […]

How heartless can you be?
I am a cashier at a store in Halifax. Today we were collecting donations for the Bahor family, a Syrian family whose seven children died in a tragic fire earlier this month. I was so happy that people readily opened their hearts and their wallets to make a donation on behalf of the family, including […]

Assholes!
You guys seriously screwed me and your other employees over. I was laid off over the holidays and, when I was supposed to go back to work, my coworker told me we were laid off for another month. I had to reach out to my employer to figure out what was going on. I could […]
