Haligonian Liquor Retention
I live downtown. So every day I get up and go to work on foot through the streets of Halifax.Two things to get out of the way. Number one, I’m from Ontario. Number two, it is my lay understanding of Nova Scotia that Halifax has a rich drinking culture.

While I’m sure I could throw a rock in any direction and hit 10 people that could drink anyone from Ontario under the table and keep on trucking… perhaps we would have a higher tolerance if we were used to sucking on the oily tit of Alberta like our always lovable Ontario brothers and sisters.
It’s no surprise that a primitive bluenoser would resort to rock-throwing.I also find it hard to believe that Nova Scotians aren’t yet used to the taste of Fort McMurray breastmilk. Half your family probably lives there which makes your analogy all the more creepy.And shouldn’t you be out picking up your mother’s weave?
Oh don’t get me wrong princess. I’ll resort to a lot of things, though I don’t remember throwing stones being one of them, at least not in the literal sense. And yes more and more Maritimers are being seduced by western gold, but that’s a failure of government in Nova Scotia and even more so in the big cottage of Ottawa.I’d say probably 4 to 5 percent of my family lives out west, though they moved before the boom and I’m really not sure what the hell that’s supposed to mean anyway.Picking up my mother’s weave? Seriously? Anyway… there’s a big reason Canada has a great reputation across the globe and it sure as hell has very little to do with the tunnel vision that comes from Ottawa.You are right about one thing though. I am a primitive bluenoser and you should be thanking my mother and mothers like her that I was raised to fight nose up, eyes down assholes like you with my mouth and not my fists cause I meet people like you all the time, but don’t worry, I’ll just be polite little me. Smile and say hi as I sip on my beer. Just remember, not everyone is as tolerant as me. You’ll say the wrong thing to the wrong person some day. Of that, there is no doubt.
I’d first like to ask how you manage to keep your nose up and eyes down at the same time, but I should be careful.Trust that I’ll continue to watch what I say between my breaks from big oily tits.
It’s probably a combo of university students and their inexperience in the art of drinking sensibly. Especially after exams.

HLR may I suggest you take the next bus out of town – one way to Ontario where you and your condescending ass belong. Carnate is right … your lesson is coming, it’s only a matter of time. I don’t know what you expect from HRM who can’t even manage to get snow removal equipment on the road in the first big storm in DECEMBER! You want them to clean barf off the sidewalks? LOLOL Don’t you just love those cute little Ontarian fuckwads?
In addition to not being able to hold their liquor(shame on you), might I suggest that there is also something wrong with the people getting their backs up and defending vomit in the streets. It’s fucking VOMIT people!
i’m all for having pride for where you live and where you come from, but I am with Lori. It’s f%*#in’ vomit, folks. enough said
Its Nova Scotia and don’t get me wrong I’m a nova scotian but seriously why do you think they only sell 40% liqour at the NSLC? Because we are a bunch of drunks
