The late show

Coast Staff

I’m trying to come to terms with something Dr. Phil once said: when you’re late (and I am — consistently), you don’t care enough to be on time. It’s classic Dr. Phil, whose take-responsibility — or, as he calls it, “get real” — pop psychology might well be dubbed “deal with your own shit, lady.” […]

Letters to the Editor

As one of the many post-secondary students living and loving in the HRM, it’s a bit of a kick in the pants to see Dalhousie take the top spot in university-related categories in the recent Best Of issue.

Shades of grey

I was leaning against a meeting room wall on the ramparts of Citadel Hill last week when businessman Bill Black waltzed in to the strains of the Stones’ Paint It Black. About 75 portly, south end Tories applauded enthusiastically as Mick and the boys wailed about death and depression. “I see the girls walk by […]

Testing malfunction

Coast Staff

To the editor, For someone that I don’t know, I’m very fond of Stephen Lewis. He works his butt off to help people, people who are normally pushed aside or ignored especially. If that doesn’t show goodness of character, then I don’t know what would. There was one thing about The Coast’s recent article (“Struggle […]
