Liebe Kirsten, in der Anlage ein Artikel in einer regionalen Zeitung hier an Nova Scotia’s Ostküste… Herzliche Grüße, Marcus. By Marcus Behrens

Re: Cookie Dough What an interesting letter! From this I learned: 1. Ms MacDonald has an overweight son and its due to his life at home. 2. She likes exclaimation points, and has no idea how to use them. 3.She is totally rotted out by the fact her son can’t eat leftovers for school lunches. […]

To the editor, I’m a mother of three and a business owner! I think the school board’s intentions are good, but they’re going overboard with this new policy!!!!! First of all, of my three sons, one of them has a weight problem. It’s no fault of the school, his problem is what he eats at […]

To the editor, I just had my one year anniversary in Halifax, and actually in Canada. I discovered The Coast upon moving here and found it to be the place to go for all things Halifax. It was a natural replacement to the San Diego Reader from where I moved (www.sdreader.com) although your website is […]

To the editor, I had to comment on dear Bruce Wark’s thoughts on The Daily Scrooge, I mean The Daily News. It’s about time someone talked about what a horrible paper it’s become. One talks about the sinking of the Titantic, how about sinking of The Daily News? The stories are about as interesting as […]

To the editor, I had the misfortune of catching an episode of Intervention and it just doesn’t seem real. The participants are either too down and out, or not down and out enough. Moreover, their friends still talk to them. In one episode a girl smoked crack and then chilled out with a companion. People […]

To the editor, For what it’s worth, before Trinity (Oct 13, “Three wishes”) was Spice or Le Bistro, it was Chez Jean, a quite good French restaurant. That must have been about 25 years ago. By G. Ternan

To the editor, Just spent 10 minutes trying to see who’s playing at the clubs. Are you out of your minds? I used to click on “Music by day” and have all the info I needed. If I needed to know the venue location or the phone number, I could look that up separately. Whoever […]

To the editor, My family and I used to enjoy the October street party and were sorry to see it end when liquor and stupidity took over. It would be great if it could be re-introduced as the wholesome event it originally was. However, if you are going to promote its resurrection (Oct 13, “Trick […]

Give The Coast a break. Although I COMPLETELY respect Claire Gallant’s right to be offended last week by the thought of turducken and meat consumption, I don’t feel that she had the right to be offended that The Coast published a story about the turducken. I think she owe’s The Coast an apology by suggesting […]

To the editor, World Farm Animal Day was on October 2, and brought attention to the suffering animals endure so we can eat them.   Stats Can reported Canada killed 650 million animals for food in 2004. Nova Scotia executed 200,800 pigs, 25,600 cows, 13,700 sheep and 21,924,000 chickens.      The Canadian Coalition for Food […]
