Letters to the Editor

Dear The Coast, Once again the annual air show is underway and is being advertised as something appealing to the family. Fast machines are sexy and cool and extreme engineering is fascinating to almost everyone. There’s also a defence industry flea market with booze fueled parties to keep defence contract participants on good terms. Whoohoo! […]

Letters to the Editor

Just a thing to think about. A good thing to look into is Peak Oil, and our dependency on it they’ve created. Cars could run on water, they’ve invented far more amazing things.. but no they don’t.. Now the world is upon an energy crisis like no other. It’s coming up even in mainstream media. […]

Starr gazing

Dear Editor,I would like to respond to the hurtful review done by your food critic Liz Feltham. I really enjoyed reading her column and always thought the reviews were truthful and sometimes insightful about the people who run the restaurants, cafes etc…When the staff and I read our review our jaws dropped.

Right of entry

To the editor, I get the distinct smell of contradiction now when I read of a restaurant in The Coast. I have often appreciated trying a restaurant that I learned about from your paper. But as a wheelchair-user, I have found that my access is denied from some of these places, and The Coast gives […]

Child support

To the editor, I was interested to read “Have you checked the children?” (August 17). The writer had noticed an ad for “exotic kittens” in the business personals section of another local paper and was concerned about child prostitution. They might be comforted to know there is a breed of cat called the Exotic Shorthair, […]

Damage control

To the editor, I don’t know how the cops managed to not see the widespread crystal meth use in the Halifax gay community over the past three years that I’ve seen friends become addicts. Of course, they also seem to overlook the sale and use of ecstasy at two local bars. I don’t know the […]

The correspondent, “Sick Of Solicitors,” had noticed an ad for “Exotic kittens” in the Business Personals section of another local paper and was very concerned about child prostitution. I was unable to locate that ad in […]

Methology

Having read your article entitled “Methodology,” it appears to be a well researched and written article. I am surprised however, that you did not seek the input of Dr. Russell Westhaver, at St. Mary’s Crimininology and Sociology department, who is doing research in the field of Meth and gay mens health issues, as well as […]
