Good morning Liz,Read your review on the “Pizza Girls” in last week’s Coast Magazine and decided to give it a try after reading that the pizza was the best thin crust pizza that you’ve tasted. Since I like thin crust pizza, I decided to try it. I must tell you that what I got was […]

Number crunching
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. As far as I can tell, 20-something university students are an important demographic of […]

Best letter to the editor
To the editor, To be named in the “Coast Best” category is a thrill that lasts all year long. I truly feel honoured and deeply appreciate all the readers who wrote me in—that is certainly how I hope people would feel about my practice. As a treatment psychologist, my therapeutic tasks include getting clients to […]

Don’t put away the poppy
Dear Kyle Shaw, I think the white poppy is a great idea. Promoting peace is important any time of year, but especially now. Yet I strongly dissagree with the statement that the red poppy “glorifies war.” The plea of veterans that their service not be in vain is because their actions did serve a valuable […]

Fighting words
To the editor, “They did not die in vain implies the war had a valuable purpose.” Nice logic, Mr. Shaw. Are you saying that our soldiers did die in vain, or that World War II didn’t have a valuable purpose? It’s not exactly clear in your editorial (“Great white hope,” Nov 10). Perhaps you think […]

She’s number one
To Lezlie Lowe, Kudos to you on your forthright treatment of the issue of the lack of public toilet facilities in the Halifax area (“Nowhere to go,” Nov 10). It is high time that this matter was given the serious attention it is due. No one wants to discuss this issue openly, but it is […]

Smoke screen
To the editor, I would like to set the record straight concerning the Pizza Corner fire at the KOD on October 27, as mentioned last week in Shop Talk (“Where there’s smoke”). I live above the pizza shop along with three other people and we’re a little sick of everybody getting the story wrong. TC […]

Screw that
I must have been really wicked in a past life because in this one, I’m required to scan news releases. On Tuesday, November 8, I noticed one from Canada NewsWire, a PR outfit that gets paid to send a daily flood of promotional blurbs into newsrooms. The release, from the giant condom maker Durex, claimed […]

Democracy watch
Canadians have learned a few things about Haiti from our mainstream news outlets. We’ve learned that it’s the birthplace of our governor general, Michaelle Jean. We’ve learned it’s been affected by Atlantic storms this hurricane season, and we’ve learned that the UN is playing its part to disarm local gangs. What we haven’t learned is […]

CSI: Halifax
Of course this simplistic generalization is not wholly without challenge. Especially given that these are hardly gentle times we live in. For some like Rob Furlong, there exists another category, the sort most of us don’t want to get: the bad news call. Over the past few years, these types of calls have been Furlong’s […]

Letters to the Editor
My roomates and I recently sent a “love the way we bitch” about someone pissing in our front porch! How can you have a cover and main article about public urination without printing our bitch? We were very disappointed in you. By nardin
