R acist and dirty cops, power-hungry cops who use excessive force and arrest people for no reason, need to be stopped. I can’t believe that poor woman was punched in the face in front of her children! I was pushed face-first toward the concrete by a cop before with extreme force, I almost had my […]

Ambulance hinderer
To the idiot in a grey Nissan Versa who crossed the North and Robie intersection as an ambulance was trying make its way to the hospital, in snow, during rush hour, yesterday afternoon. STOP and WAIT. And why TF are you wearing noise-cancelling headphones while driving!?!?!?! Are you literally trying to kill people?!?! Ugh. —Pedestrian […]

LIbrary’s noisy living room
I was always under the impression the “living room” on the fifth floor of the central library was meant to be reasonably quiet, yet every time I’ve been there it’s been just as noisy as the rest of the incredibly noisy library. People speaking loudly on their phone, constant camera shutters from teams of unoriginal […]

Big scary flurries
Why in the fuck are all the liquor stores closed just because there are a few inches of snow down!? We live in Nova Scotia. Why are you so surprised that it snows here? All the buses are running and most of the other stores in the city are open. WTF is your problem, NSLC? There’s no reason […]

Responsible dog ownership
Dear neighbour on Fuller Terrace: It’s snowing and your dog would like to come in. He has been out there barking for over 30 minutes. I am a block away and I hear him begging to come in out of the cold and wet. You do this every day. Every day you ignore your poor […]

Snowflake wonderland
Shout-out to whomever was responsible for the beautiful holiday decorations off of Doyle Street. It is a visual treat that always seems to catch me by surprise. It gladdens my heart while travelling the neighbouring streets, and feels and looks as if I’m journeying through a blue and mauve shimmering wonderland of snowflakes. —K.F.

Bedford bagpipe long shot
I am looking for a man that I had a brief moment with at a New Year’s Eve party many years ago. We were at a house party in Bedford where he played the bagpipes. We watched each other all night, or at least I think we did. We were never introduced. He hugged me when he […]

Students on transit
Dear Students: When you are on a crowded bus, look up from your phones, and when you see an older commuter on the bus standing, get up and offer them the seat! It is called being polite. It won’t hurt you, and it might also make you feel good as the older person sits and you, […]

Coat-check catastrophe
To the guy at ’90s Night NYE who took my favourite Weathermate brand vintage grey wool coat instead of your own from coat check that night: please please please return it the coat check there, they have my info. You found my eyedrops in one of the pockets, and I know your coat is still […]

Vegan Apartments for Rent?! What next!?
I just saw an apartment listing for a vegan apartment for rent. I thought it was bad telling people to smoke and not have pets, now these landlords are trying to control what you eat! Crazy shit going on in the HRM. No wonder nobody can find a place to live with lunacy like this going […]

Let’s all learn how to do our garbage in 2020
Dear south end students: You’ve been living in what were formerly single-family homes for what, four months now? It doesn’t matter where you came from, in Halifax, there’s a law: we compost. That’s what the big green garbage can that is assigned to your house by the city is for. It’s not for your garbage […]

Herring Cove David
To the people on Herring Cove Road with the reproduction of Michelangelo’s “David” in front of their house: Each time I drive by I look to see if you’ve changed his theme. Thank you for making our little corner of the world just a bit better. —Cindy
