Letters

To the editor, What an interesting letter! (“Cookie dough intake related to exclamation point usage,” October 20) From this I learned: 1. Ms. MacDonald has an overweight son and it’s due to his life at home. 2. She likes exclamation points, and has no idea how to use them. 3. She is totally rotted out […]

To the editor, As the first commercial FM talk show host in Canada, I couldn’t appreciate more doing it here in Halifax on the new station News 95.7 FM. With the exception of Wark, the city has a pretty big BS meter. I was confused by the nature of Wark’s lament in his editorial about […]

To the editor, I’m a mother of three and a business owner! I think the school board’s intentions are good, but they’re going overboard with this new policy!!!!! First of all, of my three sons, one of them has a weight problem. It’s no fault of the school, his problem is what he eats at […]

To the editor, I just had my one year anniversary in Halifax, and actually in Canada. I discovered The Coast upon moving here and found it to be the place to go for all things Halifax. It was a natural replacement to the San Diego Reader from where I moved (www.sdreader.com) although your website is […]

To the editor, I had to comment on dear Bruce Wark’s thoughts on The Daily Scrooge, I mean The Daily News. It’s about time someone talked about what a horrible paper it’s become. One talks about the sinking of the Titantic, how about sinking of The Daily News? The stories are about as interesting as […]

To the editor, I had the misfortune of catching an episode of Intervention and it just doesn’t seem real. The participants are either too down and out, or not down and out enough. Moreover, their friends still talk to them. In one episode a girl smoked crack and then chilled out with a companion. People […]

To the editor, For what it’s worth, before Trinity (Oct 13, “Three wishes”) was Spice or Le Bistro, it was Chez Jean, a quite good French restaurant. That must have been about 25 years ago. By G. Ternan

To the editor, Just spent 10 minutes trying to see who’s playing at the clubs. Are you out of your minds? I used to click on “Music by day” and have all the info I needed. If I needed to know the venue location or the phone number, I could look that up separately. Whoever […]

To the editor, My family and I used to enjoy the October street party and were sorry to see it end when liquor and stupidity took over. It would be great if it could be re-introduced as the wholesome event it originally was. However, if you are going to promote its resurrection (Oct 13, “Trick […]
