To the editor, I get the distinct smell of contradiction now when I read of a restaurant in the Coast. I have often appreciated trying the food from a restaurant that I learned about from your paper. But as a wheelchair-user, I have found that my access is denied from some of these places, and […]

I have recently had a run in with a disgusting individual(s)…or it could be the disgust of someone thinking they have enough power and right to destroy my father’s pride in his country, and the country he served in order to keep all the “hippies” and “protestors” of this city safe for another day of […]

To the Editor: Some time ago I posted a classified in your paper. It appears my e-mail address was saved, without my consent, for your mailing list; and in the last few days I’ve started receiving unsolicited e-mails asking me to sign up for more classifieds.

To the editor, Have you noticed the large, full-colour advertisements pasted to the construction fences at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia on George Street, outside the Lieutenant Governor’s residence or on closed gas stations and other construction fences around town? These would be ads for Coke products, Axe boy’s perfume, the Junos and other […]

To the editor, At a recent all-candidates debate in a local riding, the Tory candidate kept stressing that the local inhabitants should vote for him if they wanted to be heard at the cabinet table and have favourable decisions. This is an immoral and pathetic example of the old style patronage politics practiced by the […]

Hi Liz, I just wanted to Thank You so much for the wonderful article you wrote on the Seaside Shanty Restaurant! As the new owner of the restaurant, I couldn’t be more pleased to read all the great things you had to say!! Next time you are in the restaurant, please ask if I am […]
