Every single cab in this city is busy every single weekend, and, for some reason, we still don’t have Uber. Let’s get Uber, or more cabs to accommodate this city’s population. The amount of times I’ve received a recorded message from cab companies this fall telling me that the number was unavailable is ridiculous. And […]

Sign in with Facebook? No, thanks
Hey The Coast, since you took away our anonymous accounts commenting on everything has gone way down. I often type a comment, only to run into the “log in with facebook or twitter” window, and then close it with disgust, abandoning my input. This sucks and I find it stifling.—Anonymous

Snow day gentleman
To the 20-something guy with the immaculate moustache and rad green gloves with aliens on them who was riding the overcrowded bus during Friday’s snow storm: Although you were visibly soaking wet, cold and shivering, you were the only person willing to give up your seat so an elderly woman didn’t have to stand. Your […]

Dear Soldiers of Odin
So I read a HUGE article about SOO in The Coast today. Apparently they’re against immigrants, yet Mr. Rushton says they’re not racist. Well, fuck you Mr. Rushton and SOO. I’m not racist, I’m just stating my views!—Muslim, Immigrant and Arab

Mutual attraction
Now that we have more than a vague notion of each other, I get the feeling that wherever this goes is going to be good.—Heart extractor

Just cross already
To the pedestrians that like to play traffic cop and try to wave cars through AFTER they stop for them at a crosswalk: Just cross the street already! What a waste of time for me to be sitting there in my car, waiting for you to cross, while you flail your arms at me instead […]

Ride sharing
British Columbia is introducing a ride sharing legislation in November, meaning there’ll be room for Lyft and Uber to follow. The friggin’ NDP government? As a forward-thinking liberal government, why are you failing behind the NDP?—City boy

Many choices
We somehow made it through youthful on-again-off-agains to find ourselves grown up, both looking for someone to keep growing with. You sometimes hear about couples “losing their spark”, but that won’t be us. I see it so clearly and know that I will keep choosing to love you every moment of my life, even (especially) […]

Laws are only good if they’re followed
Hey everyone at the gas stations who like to hang out and puff away near the doorway: Guess what? There’s a new law about smoking. Please read and heed it. But here’s something else: It’s illegal to smoke less than 90m from a doorway. I don’t want to inhale your disgusting smoke when I go […]

Leave my paper recycling alone
I really don’t get it: People on our street are stealing our paper recycling bags every night before the truck arrives to take it. It means that if I don’t want you taking my paper recycling bag and rifling through my stuff I have to make sure I put my recycling out just before the […]

Replying to boy on bike
I loved a boy on a bike. I still do. How I wish we were talking about each other. —Marcy’s playground

Save a succulent
Dear generic white-walls-and-beechwood cafe, it was me who stole/rescued two of your sad-looking succulents—and you’ll be glad to know they are revived and currently thriving. Between your slick IKEA-style decor and boring local photography the place looks like a neglected hospice for dying plants and I had to do something about it. So thanks!—Compulsive plant […]
