I am from here, I moved back three years ago from Vancouver, and initially was very happy to be back, and very happy to meet all the people from Ontario who have moved here and love it, but today I fucking hate it!!!

There is nobody here my age to date, because everyone seems to be a student, married, or perennially drunk.

Right Halifax do you hear me, I am tired of you reckless, stagnant, and stupid behavior, from your visionless, and cowardly politicians, to your greedy, destructive piss ant rednecks you say are friendly but are really just as judgmental and staid as every other neo-colonialist dickweed.

I have lost all hope in this fucking place, it is nothing more than a huge province sized gallery/gift shop for geriatrics and a beer trough for ridiculous students who will leave nothing here when they move away but the stains on the carpet. —HaliHater

In essence all you've done is built a very expensive bathroom for your drivers and gone ahead and told your highfield customers exactly what they deserve in your mind: nothing. Coincidentally, that is what a lot of us already have. Could that be why?

Not only have you denied us a warm retreat from harsh weather, you've failed to install a digital schedule. Instead, you've planted a single pay phone (on the outside, of course), which further proves that you are a) clueless as to your customers needs and means, or that you really just don't care. How can you expect us to pay even more for a service you provide for free somewhere else? How disappointing. —Cold nose, cold toes, and other woes

I wish I could do that with the beggars outside my business on Spring Garden Rd. They stand around all day, disturbing the flow of legitimate shoppers, they are often disheveled and dirty, and they can be quite persistent.

I know, they are poor and needy .. I get it, I really do.

But don't I have a right to retail goods? I pay ernough to the government, that is certain, for this right. And most of them don't do a thing to enhance the experience .. just standing there begging, never bothering to play an instrument, or even a tin whistle, or juggling balls, or standing on a box offering political speeches such as in Hyde Park .. can you see where I am going with this?

If you offer something entertaining, people will tend to throw their pocket change at you. And you will be something more than a bum when they do it, yes?

Of course many of the beggars are not interested in anything but drugs, etc. They have not yet been beaten to the pavement by a certain well-dressed shop-keeper wielding a mop like a battle axe.—Buddha

WTF is this cryptic horseshit?

What does it mean? —Change it, it sucks.
