Before the strike, I was worrying and stressing about what I'd do in the mornings where I usually bus to work, albeit a short ride. Thank you strikers for making me take that 30 minute walk. I get to work feeling refreshed without needing a sip of caffeine. —Feeling the Burn

I would love to ruffle your feathers any day of the week. Although cats and turkeys sometimes have their disagreements, they always work it out in the end. You are my rock and I love you. Meow <3 —Cat Lady

Oh PK, how I love how outspoken and unafraid to tell it like it is. If only one day we met for a second. I'd love to make you purr... —I Like Kitties

Yay environment! Since the strike has commenced, this city has become eco friendly! Wow! This is so great. Those buses produce so much pollution that can make humans and animals sick. Pollution also kills nature, destroys trees, harms our air and contributes significantly to global warming. There is so much beauty around us! Let's take a walk and explore. Thanks for walking everyone! You are helping the environment more and more each minute! —Your Friendly Neighbourhood Eco Activist

Before you blow all that change on the flowers and chocolates remember the greatest gift we have to share is the quality of our heart. The most important quality being compassion, not just for those close to us but for all. Happy Valentine's to all. —M.N.W

I really hope you do not feel sad or alone this Valentine's Day because you are amazing and I sincerely hope you know that. The fact that you love and respect yourself truly shows that self-love is the greatest way to find true love. You don't need anyone to make you feel beautiful or special because you are. Love yourself because if you don't, how can you expect anyone else to love you? You can search across the universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, but you will not find that person anywhere. I hope you take this "holiday" to reflect on how wonderful your life is. You have a beautiful soul that should be celebrated. You don't need a man to show you all the ways of love because the strongest type of love is taught, celebrated, and learned thyself. —Your Secret Admirer

Halifax, I want to thank you for being my one, true home. No matter how often I say I need to leave (because sometimes, it just has to happen), you're here when I come back, welcoming, and will always be the city I love most. The people I've met throughout my life here are unforgettable, wonderful people. The scenery and landscape of nearly every part of the city are beautiful and still hold so much mystery to me. My house, my cats, my friends, my school, my cafes... everything about this city is home. Thank you. —MARI

To the dark haired girl I see walking her shaggy grey dog every day at lunchtime past the Hydrostone Market: I think you are magnificent. Every day when I see you and your pooch walk by it makes me smile. You are beautiful, and your canine companion is pretty cute too. —Sylvio

You are always so charming and sweet and today you were so funny, I just smiled all day. I will never tell you what an enormous crush I have you because I'm too scared, but I'll say it here: you are my favourite person I see everyday and you are so cute it is basically impossible! —Intimidated and Shy

We met. We spoke. Since meeting, we've hung out again and again and again. There was a dinner, a drive down the shore and a long conversation by the fire. There have been email exchanges, phone conversations and brunches. I could go on and on because it sometimes feels like I've known you longer. But I have only two words: thank you. —Cartwheelsforever
