Dear Ask Hole, Halloween is upon us, and I still don’t have a costume. It seems that I’m the only one in my friend group who leaves Halloween to the last minute, panics and goes as a potato. I really want to wow my friends this year, but I’m fresh out of ideas. Do you…
I fucking hate cats. I’ve been suspicious of them as long as I can remember. What other creature bores into you—with not only contempt, but satisfaction—as it licks its own junk? What other animal slinks its warm little body up against you, only to plunge its curling blades into your unsuspecting flesh the minute you…
When Colleen Kelly walked into a morning staff meeting in April of 2016—15 minutes late—she wasn’t greeted by the typical coffee cups and agenda items.

The 25th Halifax Pop Explosion has come and gone, another blitz of guitars, beats, clapalongs and discoveries. Here’s how our Lenny Mullins saw the festival.
Days after calling Indigenous protestors “hotheads on the warpath,” Halifax Regional councillor David Hendsbee privately joked with his council colleagues about smoking a “peace pipe” and expressed surprise that the tarp the municipality used to cover the statue of Cornwallis wasn’t red. The comments were made this past summer after hundreds of protesters gathered in…

If you are not going to Dalhousie, don’t ride this bus. If you are not going to get off the bus at the Student Union Building, don’t ride this fucking bus. It’s fucking annoying as shit at 8:30am having to stop at EVERY stop from the north end of Robie to Dal because YOU took…
October 5 came and went, and Canada’s boreal woodland caribou are still in trouble. That was the deadline the federal government gave provinces and territories five years ago to come up with caribou range plans for the iconic animals. Not one met the deadline.

It’s rarely a good thing when Dalhousie University gets a lot of national attention. Unfortunately for Dal, two big stories plunged it back the national spotlight last week.

Remember Andrew Al-Khouri? The plucky Cape Bretoner-turned-Haligonian made a splash on Master Chef Canada in 2015, earning his spot on the airwaves with a no frills donair gnocchi and tapping out in the top 10. Then, he was a tax officer with a passion for cooking bored by his day job. Now, he’s opening a…

Before I began swimming at the gym pool, I read the rules and policies. Clearly I’m the only one because most of you bozos didn’t. Getting in a lane designated for laps and just floating there in the goddamn way instead of being in any of the huge open swim areas, putting yourselves in the…
Dalhousie has a long history of discriminating against those who are not in power.

Adding to whatever homework they received in classes today, Monday afternoon Dal students were emailed a 900-word memo about white fragility and the Code of Student Conduct.

Professors, students and staff at Dalhousie law are speaking out in support of Masuma Khan, as hate speech and violent threats against the student leader flood in.

The in-camera document broadly…
After this year’s Pop Explosion, lets relearn a few lessons: Do not knock me over to make-out, elbow me in the face to pass your friend a drink or start a fight in the front row. The list goes on. Let’s do better, we all deserve it. —Can’t Ruin My Night Though
I was next to you for most of the show at Marquee last night. I had wanted to talk to you all night but in the end we chatted, danced, and I thought there may have been a spark there. Then the show ended and my social inadequacy paralyzed me and I said nothing. It’s…

Heather Murray’s boss at Bedford PT Health jokes that being a massage therapist is similar to waiting tables: you’re there to serve the public—it’s just a different kind of table and service.
