Letters

Dear Coast, I just wanted to address what you said about finding the ingredients for Thai cuisine in Halifax. It’s not really as hard as you make out. Lemon grass can be had at both the Queen St. Sobey’s and the Barrington Superstore. As for the rest of what you listed — Thai basil, chili […]

I must say, what those fucking pro-lifers did has sickened me for days now. I just can’t get the images of that baby out of my head. I’ve actually had an abortion, and believe you me, if I would have been in a different situation, I would have gladly brought my beautiful baby into the […]

Letter to the Editor; (I sent the following letter to the town of Antigonish’s local newspaper, The Casket. It was not printed. Could you please print it in your newspaper.) Reconciling yourself with where you grew up, being able to exist there, means you can live any where. Or maybe you just come to an […]

What??? No commentary with the Best of Food? It left me totally unfulfilled. I know you’re waiting until the Best of Halifax 2007 publication, but still the commentary was part of the thrill of winning, without it I barely skimmed the article. You could always double dip, and put the Best of Food commentary into […]

To the editor, I am using this as a forum to send my sincere thanks to the people who are right now standing in the rain, using their umbrellas to block the pictures of dismembered, bloody fetuses that anti-abortionists are displaying to pedestrians and traffic on South Park Street. These photos, though gruesome to behold, […]

To the editor, While riding the bus home on Friday afternoon, I noticed people standing along North Street holding up signs of dismembered baby fetuses with the caption “Abortion” underneath; definitely controversial, if not eye-catching in a sick sense. A bit farther along, I noticed a number of people holding rainbow-coloured umbrellas in front of […]

To the editor, Today I dragged my ass out of bed and hopped on the bus to go to work like usual. It seemed like an ordinary day—rainy weather and everyone looking out the windows to avoid eye contact. And then, from out of the mist…could it be? Yep, it’s a dead and dismembered fetus! […]

To the anti-abortionist extremists who were standing along Sackville Drive this morning I ask: Who do you think you are? Displaying your disgusting pictures for all to see…have you thought about parents with young children in their cars? Have you not any respect for others who may not share your beliefs? Fine, you posted on […]

On my way to work this morning Barrington Street was lined with fundies holding PhotoShopped anti-abortion signs. While I was glad it was pouring down rain, I still had two wishes: 1. I wished there were less telephone poles and trees on that side of Barrington Street.2. I wished the roads were icy. Fundies, get […]

I have now seen everything Today I dragged my ass out of bed, and hopped on the bus like usual, to work I go, to fund my dream of someday becoming a mediocre rock star. It seemed like an ordinary day, you know, rainy weather and everyone looking out the windows to avoid eye contact. […]
