I didn't mean for anyone to see what I wrote in my makeshift Burn Book. I genuinely liked so many people in that place, it was a nice team. With you guys it was more complicated. I had good days and bad days with you. We had some laughs and interesting discussions. But sometimes there was a barrier to understanding, unfair judgments on both sides, and hurt feelings...first mine, then yours. It's too bad we couldn't bridge the gap. Half the fault is mine on that front. Maybe one day we'll mend the fence. I don't hate you and I wish you happiness. You're good people who did a shitty thing, and I can definitely relate. If I could give one piece of advice it's that your instinct should tell you who the real assholes in your environment are and to stay away from them. Don't ignore that instinct, they're the worst. Good luck! —Cady Heron

To the dancing Asian guy who was at the Roxy and Underground sound show at the SH: You made my night with your moves and finesse. Can you please teach the Halifax male populace so they stop looking like an offbeat deranged bag of zombies? Thx for the tips, I will use them. You’re the best! —BM

A few weeks ago, while I was walking at night near my home, I had a seizure that dropped me to the ground. I was twitching and incoherent, but people who only vaguely recognized me from the neighbourhood—people I'd never spoken to before—helped bring me to my door. I've always known that I live in a friendly part of this city, but was touched that near-strangers would take care of someone who probably looked for all the world like he was just falling-down drunk. For that, they have my thanks. —Crowfeeder

I remember when I wanted you back but you said not yet. I understood but then we both ended up in relationships. She's a babe btw- good job! Just wanted to say that I'm happy you're happy and it's so nice to see you the one time / year I go to a show even though it still feels like there's a unspoken tension between us. You were my favourite part to come out of my "life spiraling downhill until I got sober" chapter. —Foreigner Rules

You got down on one knee, ring in hand, in the middle of Shubie...and your pants split open. I will always remember how hard we laughed, and how perfect it was. Lub you, boo. —Snickerdoodle

Sold you something recently off of a popular buy/sell site. Oh my gosh I think I fell in like at first site, a rare occurrence for me. Found out you're taken. Still can't stop thinking about that wonderful smile. —Seller

Canadian drug dealers have one thing to say about government anti-marijuana ads.

Thank you!

The Canadian government launched an anti-marijuana campaign in 2015 to the delight of drug dealers across Canada who say the new ads have business booming.

"I haven't seen sales like these since the Blink 182 concert of 2003," said one dealer who asked to remain anonymous. "I used to give this shit away when making other sales, now I cant keep it in stock. It's great."

The previous Conservative government decided to start its anti-marijuana campaign despite public opinion's sway towards legalization and widespread acceptance of the social drug as harmless. Experts say the combination of acceptance and aggressive anti-marijuana campaigning brought a re-energized curiosity to the most common of experimented drugs.

"Everybody knows what marijuana is. Everybody." Explained Tom Dooby, head of marketing research at the Notareal Institute. "Pot, weed, grass, whatever you refer to it as, everyone knows what you're talking about. Marijuana is already so ingrained into our society, running anti-marijuana campaigns merely reminds people who've moved on from their weed phase that it's still around."

Even the Royal Canadian Mounted Police spoke out about the waste of resources anti-marijuana campaigns are.

"They're wasting money that could be going to mental healthcare." Said one officer. "Whats more concerning, the guy waving his dick at everyone on a bus, or a teenager high in their apartment watching wrestling?"

While there's debate over anti-marijuana ads effectiveness, the increase in sales has government officials questioning their approach.

"We did everything we normally do." said one official, "Distorted facts, intense imagery, pretended like we're trying to help. If marijuana had ever actually killed someone they'd be thanking us."

However, experts believe it's those exact reasons marijuana sales have skyrocketed.

"Those ads are the best legal advertisements for marijuana I've ever seen" laughed Tom Dooby. "'Marijuana has become 300-400% stronger in the last 30 years.' That's like saying, 'Hey, remember that thing you loved and had so much fun with when you were young? Well it's gotten even better!'"

Even our drug dealer has noticed a shift in clientele.

"I used to sell mainly to college kids, but now their parents are stopping me on the way out to try this new and improved weed. Even the coke and MDMA crowd are coming back to weed. In today's economy, spending $200 on blow and another $100 on booze just isn't feasible. Getting high while Netflix and chilling is the new frugal way to party."

When asked how they intended to enforce the new focus on anti-marijuana, the RCMP spokesperson simply laughed at the notion.

"While there are many tales of police officers seizing young peoples marijuana, the RCMP can proudly say there isn't a single documented case where an officer has returned small amounts of marijuana to the precinct for disposal."

While its good times for marijuana right now, our dealer is quick to point out drugs are a flavor of the month industry.

"It's great for now. I love dealing weed, its always friendly and relaxed, but it will fade out eventually. The only thing you can do is enjoy it while it lasts. You might see a small increase in kids calling themselves 'dealers', but until a 37 year old man with rotted teeth offers to blow you behind a drug store for a small hit of meth, you're not really dealing drugs."

Listen here, checkout girl at the big box store: I know what you did. And I know why you did it, too. I walked up to you on purpose. I could sense the cheeky grin on your face from across the store. You're no amateur. You're a well-practiced hero. You've been doing this all evening. Your first glance begs for mischief. My look begs for sleep. It's why I'm buying pillows. For the same reason you hate your job, I can afford to buy one good pillow and one bad pillow. It didn't cost you anything, but as you scanned the cheap pillow your plan was already hatching. I stood incredulously, glanced at the expensive one still on the conveyor and there you looked back at me; there's that cheeky smile again, and told me to have a good night. I love this town because there are people in it like you handing out free samples of covert kindness. —Blue

I see you all the time, and I wish I could say more to you. You're always behind the counter with a smile on your face when I come in, and I want to just stay there and chat forever. But, I doubt you think of me the way I think of you. Stay beautiful. —A Homo Longing For Love

You gave me six years of love and affection. My heart is broken that you are gone forever. But my heart sings that you once loved me. How could I ask for a more perfect love? Your gift to me was gentleness, kindness and an open heart. I will miss my weasel. Te amo para sempre. —Patinho Malvado
