Parking lots
[Image-1] I park my truck far away from any cars usually at the end of the parking lot. One: so that people can see my company signs on this side and the back. Two: so some A-hole will not park beside me and dent my truck. What happens? Some douche will park right beside me no matter how […]

It’s not over yet.
[Image-1] I bet you have no idea what you have done, what you took away from me on that day, what you continue to take away from me. I wish I could face you today. I wish I could make you feel as ashamed and scared and broken as you made me. I wish I […]

WTF Sex Survey!
[Image-1] So I’m taking the sex survey, leering at my screen as fond and tragic memories come flooding back… and then a frown creases my face. The questions start getting really weird, like having someone walk in on you or you them… well how about neither! If you hear grunting don’t open the bloody F’in […]

Council review: Garbage monopoly averted
[Image-1] This week’s meeting of Halifax Regional Council was already rescheduled after Tuesday’s moderate snowstorm. Prior commitments on Wednesday meant when the meeting did happen it was considerable shortened. As such, the public will have to wait to hear discussions on stray livestock escaping from farms, cost-sharing bridge repairs, campaign finance reform, strengthening our African […]

Finders Keepers?
[Image-1] I guess this is more of a bitch at myself. I found a bus pass the other day. I was the only person sitting in that particular area of the bus, and figured that it had been left by a previous, long gone rider. I put the pass in my pocket and took it […]

$15,000 to feel OK walking out the door
[Image-1] It takes Lucy Wallace two hours, every single day, to shave and cover her facial hair. The 20-year-old transgender woman wants laser hair removal and a tracheal shave to remove her Adam’s apple, but those “cosmetic” procedures aren’t funded by the province. Now, she’s taken to GoFundMe.com to crowdsource the $15,000 she needs and […]

Dalhousie refuses to comment on dentistry faculty accusations
[Image-1] “Price under more heat for sexual harassment than anyone since Merino and gives a final with 69 questions,” reads the Facebook post. “What a boss.” That’s what one Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen wrote this past spring. He’s referring to current dentistry professor Richard Price, and former Dalhousie professor Arturo Merino. They’re two of […]

Shut the fuck up and read!
[Image-1] Libraries are places to read, to study, to enrich oneself. They aren’t malls. They aren’t hang-out spots for you and your loud, obnoxious, inconsiderate friends. Is library etiquette dead? Did it die between the time the Spring Garden Library closed and the Halifax Central Library opened? I’m conflicted on which should be the quietest […]

New Art: Peter van Gurp
Wandering into Peter Van Gurp’s recent exhibition at Anna Leonowens Gallery you’d be forgiven for thinking that you’d mistakenly walked into a room under construction. A pallet, cardboard boxes, a road work sign, an orange barrier, a length of chain, cinderblocks—Van Gurp’s pieces are so unremarkable in their everyday familiarity that you may not notice […]

New Art: Kyle Martell
“Right now I’m focusing on Ancient Aliens theories,” says artist Kyle Martell. “I’ve been watching it a lot on TV and thinking about that. There’s this weird racism in show—it’s like watching a train wreck.” Much like Ancient Aliens, Martell’s work, images of which can be seen on his website/digital sketchbook gorgeorwell.tumblr.com, dwells in the […]

New Art: Merray Gerges
Merray Gerges started CRIT in 2012, with NSCAD’s then-student union president Sarah Trower. Three years later, CRIT is still going strong, producing quarterly broadsheet issues—on newsprint. Let it sink in that someone started a physical newspaper in 2012—packed with essays, reviews and interviews about art and artists in Halifax and beyond. Today, Gerges is editor-in-chief […]
