The Coast | News, events, restaurants, concerts and Burger Week for Halifax, Nova Scotia
Home of the Best of Halifax Reader's Choice Awards, the award-winning independent newspaper covers the Halifax news, politics, events, concerts, movies, restaurants, and nightlife scene.
Dear Halifax: 20% off is not an event – and it certainly isn’t a Black Friday event. Don’t be so proud of your pathetic attempt to participate in Black Friday sales because it’s laughable —give the east coasters a deal already

It was more like 25% off. Get your shit together!
Speak for yourself. I got a great deal on locally sourced, hand crocheted Joel Plaskett foreskin warmers.
Sorry you couldn’t get your 56″flatscreen.
The better the deal, the more shit you have to sift through. You pay for these ‘discounts’ with your time and sanity. Big sales typically results in more people showing up and longer wait times for less quantity.
Thought it was Black-Eye Day …. me, I say fuck it as the hoardes of Walmartians going out of their comfort zone into other stores frightens me!
*shrug* I got a 40% price adjustment on a party dress I bought last weekend.
And not even a single pregnant woman got trampled… Damn your dignity, Canada. Damn it right to hell.
Do we really want to adopt any more ‘murican tradition anyway?
Speaking of overseas traditions, I see a freshly minted Liberal MLA, of Dutch origin, is getting shit for posting a pic of himself with Zwarte Piet
Yes, Zwarte Piet is Sinterclaus’ (the Dutch Santa and is a Caucasian person) helper whose face was blackened by soot.
His opponents claim racism. The Dutch people and their government have stated very clearly that Zwarte Piet is NOT a person in “black face” nor is the character racially motivated.
The media (mostly European and non-Dutch) have had this bit of nonsense going around for some time now. I’m surprised it’s hit here so late.
Shame on them for trying to tarnish this chap with such bullshit!
Dutch culture is under enough threat in their own land; they really don’t need to fight a multi-front war. Hopefully our MLA won’t have to atone for “unconscious racism” the same way Theo van Gogh or Pim Fortuyn did.
Rumour has it that these two lads have had their lucrative contract with the Food Network canceled, Spike Lee twitted their home addresses and Percy “Hurricane” Paris wants a quite word in the gent’s loo about cultural sensitivity.

Don’t be niggardly with your intelligence.
Next thing you know they’ll want to ban “ary Poppins” because Dick Van Dyke and the other chimney sweeps are in “blackface”.
Tim, Tim, Tim – the appropriate name is Penis van Lesbian.
Hay ,anyone up for a game of Six Degrees of Kevin Shwarma?
This tradition makes Zwarte Piet seem timid
