Speaking through my experience and for everyone else's sake that have to deal with these homes and don't deserve it, the amount of BS and the way staff treat them should be illegal! I got arrested for telling staff I was gonna kick their ass!! That's not even a charge you stupid, attention-seeking bitch! My fucking social worker is always on vacation society needs to give these people a voice!! Not everyone fucking deserves it!! Get us out of the system!!!! —Caitlin

Looking for advice and this place is crawling with people with free advice. A coworker has been cheating on her boyfriend for over a year. He is a good guy. I want to tell him, but I don't want to make shit awkward for myself at work. And no, they don't have some open arrangement. What to do? —grossed out

Umm... Whut? I've been here the entire time, but no, you haven't seen me. I'm no longer friends with our old mutual friend DED; in fact I avoid him like the plague because I want nothing to do with him. I want to live my life in peace. —The ghost of Hali

How is it impossible to find a place to sit down and have food on a Thursday evening if you have minors with you? After 9pm it's like the city closes it's doors to everyone who isn't 19+. Halifax, I LOVE your food and wanted to share it with some visiting relatives - sadly, we had to go to a food stand since we couldn't get in anywhere. Needless to say, it will be a few years before my cousins visit again :(. —Apparently needing to grow up faster

I miss you so much. I miss talking and laughing with you. I miss the things we learned from each other and how good it felt just to be with you. I never knew until now that friend breakups are just as painful as romantic breakups. Maybe worse, if you don't realize that best friends can break up, like I didn't. Chest pain, grief, Facebook creeping, compulsively reviewing our last emails, teary-eyed at your name, losing sleep wondering what happened and wondering how you are. I was stoic and rational and tried to make you feel better about ending our friendship because I didn't want you to feel badly and because I didn't want to show you how I feel. But I am very fucking sad. —VFS

I had an experience with the Department of Community Services. It was degrading, inhumane and terrible. It made me feel small and like I did not matter. It was ridiculous. I receive income assistance and before you go judging me for the welfare rant, it is because I have a disability. One that requires a lot of medical treatment. First DCS lost the package of forms I submitted to them. Then when going in to deal with them personally the woman held my forms like they were covered in dog dirt, gave dirty looks and was down right rude. Is this really necessary? Do I deserve to be treated like less then human or that I deserve no respect because I receive government assistance? Just because you work there doesn't mean you are high and mighty. It doesn't mean you are better then everyone else. Anyone can fall on hard times and need a helping hand. I urge you all to take a real hard look at all the struggle you see everyday and put yourselves in those people's shoes. It is not as easy as it looks. —Wantingrespectandneedinghelp

To the crazy woman who couldn't wait for me to cross the road yesterday in Highfield Park: I hope you caught me flipping you off as you honked your horn and squealed past me all the while screaming for me to get off the road (BTW your passenger looked pretty embarrassed as he hid his face). It was a crosswalk, and you had a stop sign. As I said last night, stop means stop. —Just Walkin' Here!

Mark July 26, 2016 as the day when Halifax banned the future of clean economical transportation. Firstly, the possible ban of electronic bikes and electronic scooters on multi-use trailers in Halifax and now the Halifax ferry service is banning electronic rides from crossing the harbour.

This past week NewStar Marine & Scooter sold a number of eScooters/eBikes to commuters needing to travel across the Hhrbour to go to school or work. Some e-scooter drivers leave their cars at home, to reduce traffic and pollution. For others, it’s an economical freedom.

All we (e-riders) ask from the Halifax ferry service is to come up with a plan with the stakeholder to allow the e-scooters back on the ferry untill the BIG LIFT is complete. E-riders are not the problem, we are a solution to cleaner, less congested Halifax. —NewStar Marine and Scooter Inc

I am really tired of living with all of the hatred, all of the name calling, all of the treats and aggression of your strike. I don’t know why you can’t find middle ground. Stop threatening people if they buy the wrong beer, shop at the wrong store or know someone who advertised a charity fundraiser. You are ruining everyone’s positive headspace. —Not My Problem

Okay, so I got frustrated with Nova Scotia and not making enough money and, like a complete idiot, got a plane to British Columbia and man, do I hate it here. It's true what they say: “You don't know what you got till it’s gone,” and how true. The west is so snobbish and cold compared to good ol' Nova Scotia. I'm thinking of making my way back. —Stay Where You Are. The Rest of Canada Are Assholes
