by Sean Orr | So sayeth the inimitable Dr. Steve Brule: “Can’t find a job, work for free, dummy!” Unpaid work good experience: BoC governor. I did some research and found this photo of him. I mean, it’s just so terrifyingly close to this Onion article: Laid-Back Company Allows Employees To Work From Home After 6pm.

A real SLAPP in the face: Kinder Morgan slaps Burnaby residents with multi-million-dollar lawsuit. The photo accompanying the article is terrifying. I mean, what the hell, Bono? First that whole iTunes fiasco, and now you’re serving legal papers on behalf of Kinder Morgan? And through Facebook?!

Worst kept secret: Fraser Institute co-founder confirms ‘years and years’ of U.S. oil billionaires’ funding. What a bunch of Koch suckers.

Does BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan have shares in Harbour Air or something? BC Ferries considers axing Horseshoe Bay-Nanaimo route. Hmm, I wonder if this is consistent with the province’s Clean Energy Plan? “The ferry document admits the sweeping proposals will ‘challenge historically established notions of how BC Ferries’ service is delivered to the mid-Island corridor, and will require changes in customer behaviour.’” Oh, I see. So it’s our fault. Not the guy making $900,000 a year. Not all the bells and whistles added to improve the customer experience, as though anyone needs to buy a fucking iPad on a ferry. Like the top comment on that story says, “quit trying to make it a cruise line and return the ferries to the Ministry of Highways”.

Weird, when you run the government like a corporation they start acting like corporations: Metro Vancouver may go to a single fare zone for buses, TransLink says. So it will cost the same to travel two blocks as it will 2 hours? Looks like we might have to update the Vancouver Lexicon entry for Transdink.

Ex-COPE bigwig David Cadman backs Robertson, saying left must ‘stick together’. Because we all know fear-based voting works every time!

I guess it’s better than these guys: Neighbourhoods for a Sustainable Vancouver aims to overthrow Vision with “strategic slate”. “They don’t take developer money yet are recommending a Mayoral candidate who is funded by developers to replace a Mayor who is also funded by developers…” -Parks Board candidate Jamie Lee Hamilton.

Homelessness cannot be ignored in upcoming Vancouver civic election. Vancity Buzz decided to get into politics! That’s adorable. Unfortunately, the author has conflated provincial jurisdiction with civic – as minimum wage, welfare shelter rates, real estate prices, mental health and drug addiction have nothing do with this election. But lo, “developers are to blame also”, so…

Don’t get any ideas, Surrey: Police charge 90-year-old man, 2 pastors with feeding homeless. If they were feeding the homeless to cannibals I could totally see how that would be a crime, but just feeding them? Oh, dear.
