As the snow melts Halifax seems to look more hideous by the day. I hope the majority of garbage was the result of winter storms and not lazy people. Alas, I have no faith when I see poop bags scattered across trails on the Common. I mean, really, there are garbages every couple hundred meters. —Lucas

Ban pooping.
No one tell Linda Mosher about this problem… she’ll have the City take responsibility for cleaning it up!
THE FLYSPECK STRIKES AGAIN
“Alas, I have no faith when I see poop bags scattered across trails on the Commons.” Lucas
That would be The Flyspeck. He just doesn’t care.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
City cleanup was a priority and still is where i grew up. The Garden city had city crews round the clock to pick up trash, street sweepers etc. never had to worry about a cloud of dust being blown into my face by a city bus going by…not so in this city…its a dump. Good job Mayor!!
Put the inmates to work like they do in the States.
(From a fly’s perspective) ‘Where’s the feces?’
Lazy people.
Dog owners caught dropping these little ‘gifts’ should be made to wear their pooch’s precious poop around their necks for 48 hours.
I pick up after my dog but I can see why people don’t. If I knew I’d get a rise out of someone who had a problem with a little pile of poo, I’d just leave it there too. It’s fun seeing people froth at the mouth when there’s considerably worse things to see, such as a pigeon shit encrusted statue. But hey! That’s okay! Pigeon shit is as natural as the colouring in a Starbucks frap.
There should be an army of welfare bums with pokey sticks and garbage bags scouring the city. Oops, I forgot that it’s mean to make lazy pieces of shit work for their free money, my bad.
At least your finding the poop in bags. In my neighbourhood, the dog walkers took advantage of the snow to simply cover their dog’s shit. Now the roads are filthy with it.
Dog shit is everywhere out my way. Hate ppl who don’t clean up after there dogs. I remember hearing about something where a test can be done to find out witch dog is responsable for the dump. Hense the shit head masters of these dogs can get a fine for being lazy. I know wishful thinking but we can dream that will happen.
The crows cause a lot of the downtown mess. They dig through the public garbage cans looking for food and toss paper cups and fast food containers aside. It’s just crows being crows. The poor buggers are hungry.
Q: What does a crow say to alert other crows to an approaching vehicle?
A. Caw! Caw! Caw!
I doubt crows and starlings are after Tim Hortons cups. Dog crap will break down eventually. Dog doo bags won’t, and they actually preserve the dog doo inside for much longer than it normally would last outside the bag. Just let dogs doo under a bush or near off a path. The bags are as pointless as k-cup coffee.
