On page 65 of your Valentine edition there is an anonymous piece about the question of God. The author makes the arrogant assumption that he could convince me of the supposed attributes of God. This he would be unable to do, for in order to be convinced I would have to first agree to the […]

I am dismayed and disgusted by the insinuation that censoring the Danish Muslim cartoons is akin to blocking minority group rights. I think that some people are confused over whose rights are being violated. A bomb in today’s world implies terrorism, an action of extreme violence against the innocent. Depicting a bomb in the place […]

To all the protestors at SMU Thursday afternoon: As a bystander and current student at SMU, I saw a good portion of the protest on campus, and I felt the need to comment. I found it rather disturbing that a lot of protestors were holding signs that said something along the lines of “Religion is […]

You, and many others, have taken comfort from the overall liberalness of the new Liberal/Bloc/ NDP opposition in Parliament. Within limits, I would agree with you. The rub—and it’s a big one—will come along the fault line where national social policy intersects with Quebec nationalism. In areas involving national standards, the Blocs’ progressiveness will run […]

Dear Kyle Shaw, In the February 2 Upfront, you state that there are “…three left-leaning parties holding the bulk of seats in parliament.” Three? The NDP and Bloc, sure. The Liberals? Please don’t tell me you’ve fallen for their campaign rhetoric! How about their record? From 1993 to 2004, they made Brian Mulroney look like a […]

To the editor, At a recent public lecture by Scott Taylor I could forgive the Halifax Peace Coalition for highjacking the audience while introducing him; after all, they were a sponsor. I could not, however, pardon their blatant effort to deceive the audience. Armed with a handout, the HPC “proved” that the federal government budgets […]

To the editor, I recently read the article “Fire Hosed” in your last issue and I would love to support Chris Dabrowski!! I know exactly what he is going through, as I had rented an apartment from the very same landlord and had nothing but a nightmare from day one. I couldn’t begin to tell […]

The on-going treatment of the Khyber Arts Society (KAS) and now the Khyber Performing Arts Society (KPAS), by the city of Halifax makes me in turn sad and angry. The club has not only hosted innumerable artist talks, panel discussions andpost-opening parties, not to mention performances, including many with SmallWooden Shoe – but most importantly […]

Dear Editor: I cannot even begin to describe to you the level of horror and revulsion I felt upon seeing the full-page ad you ran in today’s Coast for a smokeless tobacco product. This is absolutely unacceptable. Smokeless tobacco is a major cause of brutal and incurable forms of cancer. Perhaps your readers would like […]

To the editor, I have received emails and phone calls about how happy people are that Mitchell Furs on Quinpool Road is closing; asking if I, as a local animal rights activist, know why. The fact of the matter: who cares why it is closing as long as it is? The fur industry has its […]
