I have no problem with all of the posters I see on trees and poles, etc. I always want to know what is happening in my neighbourhood. What I have a problem with is the previous posters flying around on the streets, ultimately ending up in someones yard (like mine).
If you could just take the time to remove the old ones, and then post the new ones, I would be much happier. It’s all litter, even if it advertises the best damn show in Halifax. That goes for the lost pet posters too. Take your shit down when you’ve found your little loved one. —Tired of cleaning up after you

i assume they still haven’t found their lost beasties, so please, i concur, take them down. otherwise i think the critters are still lost and it makes me feel bad
Lately, I have been finding shoes on the road. Are they litter? How do you lose your shoes while in a vehicle?
i see one shoe, sock all the time…makes you wa wa wa wa wonder
Today, just off the road near the Halifax Shopping Centre, were a pair of dark blue tennis shoes. One near the sidewalk, the other near the center line. In perfectly good condition too. How do shoes with shoe laces accidentally come off someone’s feet while in a vehicle and end up on two different spots on the road? I am thinking alien abduction.
kids take them from other kids. i guess it’s supposed to be funny unless you’re shoeless joe…bullies blow
To this day whenever I see one lone shoe I am reminded of the lone shoe that was discovered at Kristen French’s abduction site. I lived up the street from her parents when the trials were being held. That town and it’s one lone shoe will always have that triple tragic association for me.
jeez louise ol…sad rawk
I once saw a lady buy her 2 kids new shoes. They got to the car, she motioned them to take your shoes off. Eagerly they kicked off the old ones, and put on the new ones. She put the new shoe boxes on the ground next to the old shoes and drove off. All this in sight of her children … & they wonder why the kids are disrespectful. If you can’t even do something so simple as pick up your trash then what the fudging fudge are you good for. Damn halfbreed dimwits. Yeah I agree OP pick up your shit!
Ooooooh eeeeee I retract the halfbreed part. Wikipedia told me what it is and I didn’t mean it that way. I just mean asshole.
The strange thing is, the same pair of shoes I saw earlier today on the road near Halifax Shopping Centre were now on Cowie Hill, arranged exactly the same way as earlier: one by the sidewalk, one by the center line. Is this some kind of prank? lol
Sad indeed, cyber-sis. I curse the two responsible for such atrocities and the permanent stamp of them etched upon the memory of a nation. My time in that town was punctuated by horrible reminders everywhere. Pretty horrible stuff, but even worse for the victims, their families and friends. Enough said.
you can’t have it both wayss o.p., even though there is a law that says that all posters havve to be down, 24 hours after the event or whatever. it was a 50 dollar ticket when i live in bridgewater, if you didn’t comply. the cops wold see poster, make note of time and date, next time they came by,if still there, then you got a visit and a ticket. no fucking around, you were guilty by default.
LS – now you’ve provided the police in HRM with the reason as to why they can’t catch swarmers, too busy ticketing overdue posters?
yeah, thanks LS for the now imminently impending swarmings we’re about to see all over the city.
HOW COULD YOU.
Jackass.
Is the OP just pissed ’cause someone took their spot on the pole? The shit breaks down… eventually. The ink used on the ad probably isn’t enviro friendly, nor are the staples, but what are you going to do? Paper ads on the poles is free advertising for the people who post them. Ever see what an ad agency charges these days?
I was under the impression that the shoes marked gang territory or is that just the ones on the power lines? Maybe the shoes are on the road because the dumb ass “gangsta” chicken shit wasn’t wearing their glasses and missed the fucking power line!
As far as the cowardly swarmers, I’d like to see ’em when they break up to go home and someone get ’em one-by-one. An eye for an eye motherfucker! I am coming to get you (betcha didn’t know I’m Batman)! The cops probably won’t do anything until someone gets killed. Sad.
I thought shoes on the ground and powerlines means that’s where someone got beat up or something 😛
according to my sources it could be just stolen shoes, but also a sign that a drug dealer is working that area. so if they aint your shoes don’t be selling?
I have no idea how my bitch ended up being interpreted in the way that LS & Mr_Mc got it, but given the tendency for the regulars to feed into their own bullshit comments, it’s not surprising really.
They aren’t my posters, but they end up being my litter..in my neighbourhood streets, and in my yard.
Just clean the shit up when you replace the old with the new. Quite a simple suggestion really.
