I was just wondering about something in your recent “Midnight Massive” article: the cat in the background of the picture, is it real? It’s hard to tell from the shot, I’m just curious. If so, it’s definitely an extremely cute little critter, wouldn’t mind knowing more about it at all. By Nick

So I was just looking over The Coast and was reading the article about Massive Productions, which I really enjoyed, but in the background of the photo I noticed the cutest cat ever. Can you maybe write or tell us more about that pussycat? By Toni

To the editor, Reading last week’s piece on Tony Hage’s Massive Productions anniversary was like tripping down memory lane (“Midnight Massive,” Johnston Farrow). I was at Tony’s first party at present-day UpCountry, and I was also at the Church party (as we coined it)—everyone danced so hard that we wore holes in the industrial-grade carpet. […]

While I was surprised by the fact that the Canadian media largely ignored Stephen Harper’s discontinuation of the One-Tonne Challenge and as well took a blase attitude toward Earth Day this year (April 22 for the droves who don’t know), I was downright shocked that the same went for The Coast. Why aren’t your guns […]

While walking with my toddler along Cambridge Dr. in Point Pleasant Park, I was disgusted by the amount of dog excrement left by thoughtless pet owners. I can think of no excuse for this. There are bags available at the Park entrance. Some might argue that their dogs are defacating when off the leash and […]

Dear Editor, “I have more things to worry about right now, I don’t have time to save the world,” seems to be the common excuse for people not taking even a moment out of their daily lives to open their tired eyes, see that Mother Nature is pissed off, and do something that will make […]

Dear Kyle Shaw, I loved your big brother editorial about the CANPASS Air program (“Looking forward,” April 13). Our march towards 1984 is well on its way and few people seem frightened by that. Or maybe they are but are afraid to say. But what about page 7? Don’t you think The Coast Market Survey […]

Dear editor, John Hamm sounds like he’s out of touch with Nova Scotia youth and what it’s like finding work in today’s job market. As recent graduate I would have loved to have had the opportunity to stay in Nova Scotia. I grew up in Nova Scotia and lived in and around Halifax for 24 […]

Dear editor, I am absolutely appalled. Former premier Dr. John Hamm has suggested that university graduates who leave Nova Scotia to find work should be asked to pay back Nova Scotia taxpayers for part of the cost of their education. This from the man who so viciously cut funding from post-secondary education over the last […]

I drive through the Armdale Rotary several times a day. Before I moved, I was worried about the Rotary; it had a reputation for being a traffic nightmare. After two or three trips through it, I relaxed. Even in rush hour, there is never more than a 30 minute delay added to one’s commute. This […]

I like the Carnival idea, but here’s what I think could work well for everyone and for immediate use (actually, my friend suggested it but they’re not writing in are they). Level off the big rubble piles, fill the lot with tonnes of sand. Erect a few dividers for a kid’s area, lounging on lawn […]
