HAPPY BIRTHDAY Taurus (Apr 20-May 20) eBay is a multi-billion-dollar e-commerce business that has been around for almost 20 years. But it had an inauspicious beginning. The first item ever sold on the service was a broken laser pointer. Even though the laser pointer didn’t work, and the seller informed the buyer it didn’t work, […]

After he moved to her small town from Iceland, the pair—then high school seniors—got to know each through the school musical they were both involved in. Thanh ended up in the hospital later that year, and was touched by how much Jon was […]

Letters to the editor, April 30, 2015
Lifelong poverty I am one of the poor who will never be able to afford a computer/laptop/internet service. I was born into poverty during a majority federal Conservative government in power, who made my single mother and me live on a monthly cheque which they would not increase with the cost of living, the price […]

The look of love
I am planning on a tight budget, and don’t have the money to go all out with decor. What would you say are the top three things I should not skimp on? Being faced with this question often, I always strongly suggest these three things: don’t skimp on quality linens, flowers or lighting. To save […]

Zelda & Paul
They say good things come to those who wait, but gorgeous weddings come to them, too. After nearly 14 years together, Paul Smith and Zelda Carter tied the knot last fall on a day that was both a DIYer’s dream and a Halloween-lover’s fantasy. They’d only been dating a year or so when Paul popped […]

Our infrastructure sucks
Mostly because we build streets and sidewalks the way they are built in places that don’t frost. I think it’s time to evaluate how we build sidewalks and streets in this area. It would be an interesting project to geothermally heat the road/bike lane/sidewalk at the bottom of Spring Garden Road, where buses are always […]

What Film Industry?? Re: Film Tax Credit
[Image-1] Our position is that the “film industry” is simply not viable in the way that we participate and understand it at a professional level. Sadly, our bills cannot be paid by art films and youtube videos, or an annual smattering of low-budget TV shows. We’ve tried. In fact, the Chronicle reports that the major […]

[Image-1] 
It shouldn’t be that hard of a question to answer: Who’s filing Freedom of Information requests in Nova Scotia and what departments are receiving those submissions? The good news is the government does compile that data in an annual statistical report. The bad news is the last report published is for 2012. Why the […]

Dear Mr “Thank You For Asking”
[Image-1] I am so, so, SO, so sorry for daring to walk on the sidewalk! You see, I wasn’t aware that that particular bit of PUBLIC sidewalk wasn’t actually PUBLIC at all, and in fact belonged to you and your company! I should have realized that I had to ask your permission before walking on […]

A stadium is necessary for Halifax growth
[Image-1]

It’s a perennial debate that has weighed on the minds of city council and Haligonians alike since the early 1980s when the ill-fated Atlantic Schooners came close to playing professional football in the city. The idea of building a 20,000-seat stadium somewhere in the Halifax Regional Municipality has been embraced by some and loathed by […]

You’re not God!
[Image-1] No matter what the conversation, you know everything there is or ever was to know about this particular topic. You are always right about everything you say, and you always say a lot. Your mouth never stops moving and the bizarre and unbelievable spew out like lava. Don’t you ever get tired of hearing […]
