You dork, there's no way in hell I could be friends with a self absorbed liar. I've asked to, insulted you and your so called "ex wife" who you dumped or she dumped you (who knows/cares) in Burma. Go and fuck yourself because no one else would.

See a dentist please, your breath is atrocious —Little Bird

If you don't know how to make conversation, spend some of that 18 hours a day you're on the 'net to look it up.

What you're doing right now is alienating people because everything out of your mouth makes you sound like an accusatory jackass. —I'm not listening anymore

This is primarily for the idiot hipster with her dog at the corner of Oxford and Quinpool around 4pm on Friday. I'm pretty sure you knew your dog was going to try to attack my dog, yet you did nothing to try to pull in his leash or keep him away from my dog. I tried to distance me and my dog from you and your dog, but your dog still was able to lunge and get awfully close to biting my dog… and you LAUGHED. I was so angry I couldn't even tell you what I thought of you at that moment. The fact that you found it funny says a lot about the kind of horrible person that you are. It's worse than the fact that you clearly haven't properly trained or socialized your dog. It's people like you who give dogs a bad name. This also extends to all of the idiot, horrible dog owners that I encounter in Point Pleasant Park who allow their out of control dogs to be off leash. Its because of people like you that I hope that the city takes the off leash parts of the park away and only allow on-leash dogs. And it's people like you that make me think that you should have to do more than just submit a paper and fee to the city to be able to have a dog. It's not fair to your dog or anyone else's. I think you're horrible!!! —Dog mama fed up with ignorant dog owners

To the middle-age female coming out of Dartmouth Crossing late morning on Jan 30th: Learn to read the "lane ends" signs at the bottom of Commodore Drive heading towards the 118. You were in the right lane - that lane ends with plenty of warning, 2 signs to be exact, the left lane is the "thru lane". I was in the left lane overtaking you when you decided that your lane was too narrow and started changing lanes without glancing left. So I laid on my horn to avoid an accident and you got all pissy. Yeah I flipped you off for good reason since your brain obviously can't grasp the skills needed to drive on the roadways safely. Get off the road before you kill someone.

And to the guys who decided to ignore yield sign on the circ by Main st.. yeah I called your place of employment after witnessing your road rage. The person who took my call was very interested in this incident and I will definitely follow up on it next week. Next time, don't act stupid on the road and drive directly to where your workplace has a big sign out front. —Tired of paying high ins. rates due to these fools

I have nothing against falcons. They have their place in the animal kingdom as birds of prey. Some might even describe them as majestic. But the human kind (no, I’m not talking about the football team), they are despicable. Any cowards who prey on the young, defenseless, and innocent have no place in our society. Why should my tax dollars be spent on feeding them while they contribute nothing but Sin? And since when is life synonymous with 25 years? A Peregrine Falcon, he is lucky if he lives 25 years. The human type though, he doesn’t deserve one. An eye for an eye, I say. —Justified

Nicotine patches and gums are medicines. These pharmaceutical nicotine products do make medicinal claims — hence they are "drugs" (medicines) under Canadian law, regardless of their content. E-cigarettes are not medicines. They do not make medicinal claims, and do not function as medicines either. Hence e-cigarettes are not "drugs" (medicines) under Canadian law, regardless of nicotine content.

Health Canada cannot lawfully "authorize" or approve non-medicines as medicines. Doctors know this, as does Health Canada. Insisting that e-cigarettes are required to seek approval as something that they aren't (knowing full well that any such approval is impossible for Health Canada to ever grant) is ridiculous, unlawful, and puts Canadians at greater risk. The deception works to deter smokers from switching to vaping, and works to delay the e-cig industry from understanding and following applicable laws and regulations.

E-cigarettes are not tobacco products. E-cigarettes (with or without nicotine) contain no tobacco and produce no smoke. They are not tobacco products, and cannot be regulated as tobacco in Canada. The federal Tobacco Act exempts e-cigarette products with nicotine from being classed as tobacco. Canadian law already regulates e-cigarettes. Popular myth says that e-cigarettes with nicotine are "illegal" or "banned" in Canada, and remain unregulated. Yet according to Canadian law, these products are legal and regulated. Canadian law says that e-cig hardware items are regulated as consumer products, and that e-liquid with nicotine (the liquid vaporized by an e-cigarette) is regulated as a consumer chemical product under the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001. The government is simply not admitting this fact or enforcing these regulations.

Smoking kills. E-cigarettes do not. E-cigarettes with nicotine have not been scientifically demonstrated to be any more harmful than typical caffeine consumption.

Globally, smoking kills approximately six million people every year. E-cigarette use has never demonstrably killed anyone. To date there is no credible scientific evidence to suggest (let alone demonstrate) that e-cigarettes will ever kill anyone when used as intended.

Health Canada is lying about which laws apply. For years, Health Canada has provably misled Canadians about the regulatory requirements for e-cigarettes — and with reason. Billions of dollars are collected each year in tobacco-tax revenue alone. E-cigarettes present the gravest commercial threat to smoking the world has ever seen. The government is not eager to see the status quo change — even if it saves the lives of millions who would otherwise die from smoking. Anti-smoking groups (like Smoke Free Nova Scotia – funded by Health care dollars from the government and health authorities, Cancer Care Nova Scotia, Capital Health themselves, the Lung Association of Nova Scotia) want smokers to keep on smoking. Tobacco control has become a very lucrative gravy train for them, well-funded by big pharmaceutical companies and government. If vast numbers of Canadian smokers switch to e-cigarettes and no longer smoke, anti-smoking groups will soon have no further reason to exist. They are no more eager than Health Canada is to see smokers voluntarily switch in droves to an attractive, non-lethal consumer alternative to smoking.

Flavors in e-cigarettes are a deterrent to smoking, not a gateway to it. Smokers who switch to electronic cigarettes quickly realize that, comparatively, cigarette smoke tastes disgusting. The wide variety of flavors available in e-cigarettes discourage a relapse to smoking. Why would anyone using an affordable, pleasantly flavored e-cigarette that is not killing them decide to switch to expensive, filthy-tasting real cigarettes which will kill them? "Gateway" fears are simply unfounded. —a vaper, no longer a smoker

YES, Toronto has more good restaurants and YES, Toronto has better shopping and YES, Ontario has "real" winters...so here's a thought...instead of CONSTANTLY bitching about Halifax and how it's inferior to Toronto, why not do us all a favour and just move the hell back and shut the hell up already? Why are you here? Buh BYE! —Tired of your CONSTANT bitching

I post here often. I comment often. I also tell the truth about what happened in my life. Good, bad, ironic or funny. That's the great thing about this medium... you can be totally honest with people anonymously, say what you "Really want to say out loud and in public" without the risks of being looked down upon and with a little luck, get the benefit of honest comments about your post... good, bad, ironic and funny. It is a great replacement for therapy. —Can't afford therapy

My Mom was recently assaulted at work by a customer/member. He came up behind her, unprovoked, grabbed her by the shoulder and violently shook her, injuring her. You would think that her long time employer would stand by her, right? NOPE! They are staying out of it. Going so far as telling employees they are not aloud to discuss it. They have not even revoked this guys membership, have not banned him from the store or the property. He is still allowed, and has since this happened, gone into the big concrete store where my Mom works. Thankfully she was not there. My Moms employer is trying to sweep this under the rug. Much like other assaults by members to employees. They clearly do not value their employees. They do not provide a safe working environment for their employees. How can they expect someone to return to work knowing the person who assaulted them can come back and do so again? Where are they when their employees need them??

Then to make matters worse, the police said they had more then enough evidence to press charges (my Moms statement and injuries, 2 other members who saw the assault and left their contact info for the police because they WANTED to give a statement, and multiple other employees who witnessed it) all of a sudden changed their tune saying they didn't feel comfortable pressing charges under the circumstances, which is that the guy has no record. So there you go Halifax. No criminal record? Bad day?? GO ASSAULT SOMEONE! —Fed up Haligolian

Big props to the forward-thinking asshole who built the fashionable new house with the massive, just absurdly bright green florescent lighting system running completely around the building, which stays on all fucking night every night. I also love the huge motion-sensor spotlights aimed at the SIDEWALK, which also appear to make your next door neighbour look like an old-timey jailbreaker when she's taking out her trash. Your house looks like a landing pad for super douchey aliens. Please tear it down and salt the earth. —You Are Terrible At Designing Things
