Sex shenanigans at the Rath Eastlink Community Centre

Despite the fact that dipping one's pen in the company ink is riskier than ever, Colchester County horndogs continue to throw caution to the wind.

Close on the heels of Jamie Baillie’s spectacular flameout as provincial Tory leader, there’s word two managers at Truro’s Rath Eastlink Community Centre suffered a similar fate.

The Three Tragic Musketeers

They thought of themselves as the Three Musketeers. Three teenage girls working the Hollis Street stroll in the mid 1980s. Two of them were murdered more than 30 years ago. I’ve got the other one on the phone with me right now.

“I think about Tina every day,” the woman tells me.

Shocked, saddened and unsettled in Baddeck

Those tuning in to the CTV supperhour news June 7 following the fire at Baddeck’s Inverary Inn got a masterclass in mourning.

We would expect nothing less, of course.

Bunny news for bunnies

“Do you think she’s gonna be excited?” Brett Ruskin asks the young lady sitting next to him. His sister, I think.

What's Laurel's master plan?

I would be remiss were I not to welcome back to Nova Scotia the most inattentive, indifferent, lackadaisical, laggardly, lifeless, loafing, indolent, inert, swollen-headed, narcissist who ever had the unmitigated gall to mimic as a savvy political operator.

A stop in Spain (& Gibralter)

When last we connected I said I would report on the stop signs in Spain. And I am nothing if not a man of my word.

Lily vs. Dante: Bras and curling irons at dawn!

As chair of the Nova Scotia Boxing Authority — recently renamed the Combat Sports Authority — Mickey MacDonald is used to arranging fights. And there was also that time he punched the future prime minister in the face.

Death of a Liberal Godfather

To die at 96 years of age is to die at a ripe old age. That’s a life well-lived.
So, we say goodbye to Allan J. MacEachen who served, as they like to say, Cape Breton, the country and the Liberal Party for decades. Going back to the ’50s and Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent. Uncle Louie.

Cape Breton Chit Chat

Shocked, saddened and unsettled in Baddeck

Inverness County missing cousins mystery

From where I sit, there are a pile of unanswered questions involving the circumstances surrounding the two Inverness County men who went missing in early May.

My Don Cherry moments

I can tell you with reasonable certainty that I heard and knew of Don Cherry before the average sports fan had ever heard of him. A mistake of geography.

Dear Frank:

What a piece of work this guy is.

Leafs love

Dear Frank:

Re: There Is No joy in Leafsville, by Doug Saunders, Frank 792.

Best article ever on strangeness of the Leafs not even making the final since 1967.

Speaker's Corner

The day idealism died

Back in the day, you could look out your front window and watch the children play. Outside, in the fresh air. Imagine that.

Eastertime, which normally led to warmer weather and snow-free streets, was a bona fide bonanza for skipping ropes.

Prodigal camera returns!

Wanker of the Week

Liberal trained seals

Should the federal government be able to deny funding based on personal or religious beliefs?

Our Liberal trained seal MPs certainly think so.

Leo Glavine & his stupid snapshots

Provincial taxpayers appear poised to make a seven-figure payment to American pop culture photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The Three Tragic Musketeers

Remembering Brenda

Before the Three Musketeers, there was the Foster Sisters.

Tina Marie Barron and Brenda Lee Garside met at the school for girls in Truro and became fast friends.

On reverse cultural appropriation, unlived experience & sensitivity consultants

Mount Saint Vincent University obviously acted appropriately when it chose not to interfere with the decision by its history department to name assistant prof Martha Walls to teach a course on the history of aboriginal residential schools that she herself has developed.

The many places of Denyse, Julia (et al)...

I like to think of it as radio’s dirty little open secret.
A lot of the radio you listen to isn’t live.
I know that many of you who live in HRM would love to be able to listen to Denyse Sibley on a country station again. You may not realize this, but if you live in the Valley, you can, because the AVR drive home show is voice tracked by Denyse.
