Back in November, as soon as I saw the pertinent ad, I made an attempt to get ”appointed” to the film classification board. I submitted a resume and a cover letter. Heard nothing, as I predicted, for several months. Then, out of the blue, I got a phone call from someone connected to the process: a correct mailing address was needed. I complied and strongly believed I had a good chance at appointment. This took place in either late February or early March. Had my hopes up—only to have them destroyed by a ridiculous web of bureaucracy where no one would take direct responsibility for these appointments. Couldn’t find out who was responsible for what. The buck was passed time and time again: the alcohol and gaming folks; the Executive Council; Service Nova Scotia; the municipality. Eventually, I asked which minister was ultimately responsible. NO ONE IN THIS GOVERNMENT SEEMED TO KNOW!! An enormous waste of time. If it weren’t for this paper, I wouldn’t have found out who got on the board, something I repeatedly asked about. Still know nothing about their backgrounds. Thanks for nothing. —MGP

why the fuck would you even think of that o.p.? the board is as outdatedd as the edsel was, before it rolled off the lines. and as to a classifacation of films, who really fucking cares anymore. kids are getting into the supposedly r rated movies at a younger age everyday, and no one, seems to care. money is money, and if they get it, then all else goes shitside up.
as to movie releases, they are the biggest joke going, go on the net, to stagevu.com , and you can downlown to your heart’s content. plus all the other sites, even the ones with all kinds of porn, like frostwire, or such. so, you tell me o.p., who really needs or cares about classifacation anymore.
They probably didn’t even have the courtesy to let you know the Lieutenant-Governor position had been filled, too.
AaAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAROFLZZZZZ, Ivan!!!

Raymond Taavel, a long-time activist in Halifax’s gay community was murdered last night by some psycho who was on a day-pass from the nutcase hospital. His attacker yelled anti-gay slurs as he beat and stabbed Raymond to death.
And WHERE is the story in the Coast? Front and center? Nope! You have to dig around to find it, in “Reality Bites”.
Hey Coast! Here’s reality – Raymond Taavel, a long-time activist in Halifax’s gay community was murdered last night by some psycho who was on a day-pass from the nutcase hospital. His attacker yelled anti-gay slurs as he beat and stabbed Raymond to death.
Coast, is this NOT front page news? Nope! James Cameron’s remaking the Titanic in 3d apparently is the top story… us gays once again get booted to the back.
Thanks Coast. And BTW… FUCK YOU!
Now you’re becoming a Repeaty Meaty.

I didn’t get your joke Mel. It went sailing over my head.
So OP, you see a “pertinent” ad to be a film classifier by appointment. You send a resume and cover letter and hear nothing for months but that’s what you expected even predicted. Then you hear from “somebody” connected to the “process” and they tell you that your address is wrong and to fix it. You see this as a good sign. Then again silence. I guess you didn’t predict it this time. You try various levels of government to try and get but alas they were of no help. So you finally find out who is on the board in the Coast only not to see your name here. Lesson learned OP, get the name and number of that “someone” conected to the “process”.
