Vol. 3, No. 1
This issue coincides with Halifax hosting the G-7 summit. Our long-running “G-7 Countdown” feature ticks down to “0 days” until world leaders including Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin arrive in town, and looks at the lavish lifestyles some of these politicians have, as well as the costs to Haligonians of hosting the meetings. | In honour of our visitors, the cover story “Halifax's shameful secret” tells the tale of Africville: The establishing, the promises, the broken promises and the eviction. Written by Scott Roxborough, the article features an interview with Victor Carvery, who is camping in protest in Seaview Park, located where Africville once stood. | Other articles include “Unplugging the messenger, or Does violence really come in tubes?” discussing the idea that violent television affects children negatively by Steve McAn, “Put your lips together and blow” commenting on Nova Scotia's new breathalyzer laws by Chris Lambie, and “A tale of two points of view,” a humorous take on the construction of an article about the G-7, written by Tim McGrenere. | To inquire about reprints or for more details about this issue, contact The Coast's archive librarian by emailing archives [at] thecoast [dot] ca.
