We as citizens of Halifax Regional Municipality should be demanding much more from our Mayor and Councillors. Are we tired of the lack of garbage cans and filth throughout our city? Are we tired of the lack of benches at bus stops not to mention lack of bus shelters? Are we tired of waiting for buses in the rain, sleet, snow, cold and wind? Are we tired of jumping over snow banks to get on or off buses most of the winter? Are we tired of the half assed job the companies the city contracts out to clear our streets and sidewalks of snow and ice do? Well are we? They don't care about our well being or our safety because they do not have to take these buses and therefore are oblivious to our plights. I propose that everyone who can vote in the upcoming election calls the Mayor and their councilor and demand that they take transit to work a determined amount of days per month as well as Transit management. If not complied with, offenders should be penalized as a deduction on their salary. I think maybe if this should ever happen we would see a remarkable improvement in the clearing of snow and ice. Imagine, seniors with walkers, people in wheelchairs, etc, could actually go outside and take a bus in the winter! Are we tired of the status quo? You bet we are. Let's do something about it. Things don't change because we roll over and take whatever they dish out. If enough of us yell long and loud enough, things will change. They have to. —I want to see the Mayor long jump a snow bank this winter

Well, Ottawa has decided to jam it's carbon pricing scheme down our throat. Nova Scotia has already explained to them that because our incomes are low and some of us rely heavily on oil to heat our homes, Nova Scotia has invested heavily in it's own homegrown strategy for the environment. BUT it looks like the Liberal feds aren't listening to their provincial brothers. Ottawa's plan should work for ontario ns wit their abundance of hydro power and gas sipping cars. And, anything will work in Alberta with their higher income oil patch jobs. BUT Justin Trudeau hasn't considered what it will be like for a Nova Scotian to fork out a carbon tax on an already $800 oil tank fill up. —you can talk to them but they are too self centered to listen

I'm considerably less than pleased with American Airlines. Yet again they're bailing on Halifax altogether in January 2017. The last time they dropped YHZ is was for their Halifax-JFK flights (and briefly, Boston) a few years back. US Airways started YHZ-Philadelphia about 5 or 6 years ago, but last year, American bought US Airways and inherited that route. Now we find out that AA is dropping YHZ like a hot potato. Lame. I, like other Maritimes have a few "AAdvantage" Miles, which I intended to use. Now it looks like I'm going to have to get my sorry bum to Bangor or Portland in order to use them.

It says right on the back of the frigging disabled parking tag NOT to hang it from the rear-view mirror while driving. On my way to & from work five days a week, I count no less than 50 drivers a day who, like the self-entitled dicks they are, proudly display their tags while driving. You are breaking the law. Stop it. —I Didn't Think You Were Stupid As Well!

We broke things off about 3 years ago, I was a mess emotionally, things got messy we both said things we probably regret. You blocked me from facebook, and completely cut off communication from me for 3 years. I was broken hearted for a good year. I moved on after that year and was ready to be your friend again. I have had crushes on other people and flings. I am not romantically interested in you in the least. You are definitely the wrong person for me, But I feel like a bad person because you completely cut me off from communication. I couldn't even tell you I am sorry. I finally have myself together emotionally and professionally. 3 years is a little much especially since I was the one who got their heart broken. I should have been the one to cut you off, but it definitely would not have been for 3 years If I did. Lets just appologize to each other and get it over with so that there is no more awkwardness when we see each other with friends and we can hang out and have fun. —Reach out to me if you want

The article on 'Bike parking installed on Cornwallis Street last week has been vandalized repeatedly' is about someone moving the bike corrals off the street and onto the sidewalk between huge planters. There is nothing wrong with that. The person that is parking on the street where the corrals were is totally right. That what car registration is for. If they would register all bikes, they should have a voice, but until then....mute it. The bike corral was moved off of the street and on to the sidewalk three times in five days. Cry me a river. —Toakey

I recently got a 3 pack of my favorite briefs. My balls are always hanging out and/or getting pinched. Did I miss a meeting about underwear? Who is the idiot engineer that decided to change the shape of my fav briefs? —Saggy

A few days ago I had a grown man pull his car over on the bedford highway, simply to give me a lecture about picking up my dogs poop. Wow thank you, I could not give less of a rats ass about your opinion. Here's a thought HRM, you want me to pick it up then dont make me carry it for five blocks. Can we get a trash can every now and again? Otherwise I am pretty sure it is less detrimental to leave something biodegradable than to ditch a plastic bag because you have nowhere to dispose of it. Shit for thought. —GFYS

You are very hip and popular on the internet but the fact that you were abusive to your partner really showed me who you are deep down. Until then I always thought of you as a good person. No longer do you need to be in my life. Break the social norms that dismiss these kinds of terrible crimes—it's not okay. —Monster Man
