What has happened to our world where common sense and decency prevailed? We have people begging for money in Halifax for food, clothing and shelter. We have judges not providing support to woman with children. We have employers who allow employees to be rude and disrespectful to their customers and fellow staff. Everyone is struggling […]

Kind, bearded bus rider
You were on the bus heading to Dartmouth and picked up a glove another lady dropped. I thought you were cute but I’m shy and didn’t chat. Also, is hitting on people on buses a thing? I don’t know, but I hope to see you commuting again!—Lady in knitwear

Is it just women who yak on cell phones while peeing in a public toilet…
.. or do men do it too? Whatever, it’s disgusting and so disrespectful of other’s privacy in a shared washroom. Smarten the hell up!—I do my best not to be overheard

Tyrannical Bus Driver
To the tyrannical bus driver of the 80 who defiantly shut off the bus in protest to my refusal to empty my reusable coffee mug of its contents: get over yourself. I am quite capable of preventing my beverage from spilling; even in spite of the tumultuous ride I will endure as a passenger on […]

Every time your fine self waits on me at Fine Foods I can’t help but wonder if you look at every customer the way you look at me. Either way I hope you know I’m down for a no shirts allowed make out sesh. —Your future pickle girlfriend

You’re a little bit magic
You changed my life when we met a dozen years ago, in a very different part of the planet. You changed it again when we had a document signing ceremony in the arctic and again when we repeated this maneuver over pancakes with our people. We have an amazing daughter with the greatest giggle. Parenting […]

I did the math
I understand there are things that could be fixed with Halifax Transit, but I also think we should take a step back and look at what we have. For a $78, full-price monthly pass, you can go wherever the buses go, which means: to work and back (if you are employed), to the waterfront, Point […]

Wonder Woman
To the bus driver who was dressed as Wonder Woman on Halloween, you’re the hero Gotham needs. You’re a goddess. You’re also the best driver in the city, bus or no bus. Keep on being awesome! —A-bus ride smoother than an invisible jet

Dog Cultists
Look, I’m glad for you if a pet dog makes you happy. God bless if your computer wallpaper with pit bull photos in little digitally-edited Santa hats cheers you up. Good for you if owning a dog is what gets you up in the morning, but why must this societal attitude prevail that if you […]

Not my first crosswalk
I looked all four ways at the intersection, because I knew the darkness would make me hard to see. You cut around the woman in front of you, stopping centimetres from me. I raised my arms. You yelled, asking if it was my first crosswalk. It wasn’t—but apparently it was yours?—Not sorry I gave you […]

You’re not fooling anyone
Listen bud: No matter how much shit you talk or post on social medi, everyone knows you you’re a loose canon and treated your partner and daughter terribly. So stop acting like a victim! You even assaulted your ex before. Quite frankly, I’m glad she finally left you because she deserves far better. Also NOBODY […]

Something’s wrong about this
Ok, so: I bought a watch from China for $13 and it ships for free and arrives at my mailbox by a Canada Post worker. Last night, I go to ship the same watch as a gift to a loved one in BC. It doesn’t fit the mail slot so they charged me $20 to […]
