by Sean Orr | When she’s not trolling twitter about Om the Bridge, serving the fewest days in the legislature, running red lights, or deciding if she’s a MILF or a cougar, she’s kicking it poolside: B.C. voters ask where is Christy Clark with hashtag #FindChristyClark.
Turns out she was vacationing deep inside one of the rugged and remote pockets of the LNG industry: LNG protected from tax hikes for 25 years in deal with B.C. government. Let’s call it the Notley Prevention Act.
She’s also been busy approving dams to power said LNG: Site C construction project for $9-billion dam approved by B.C. government. Drought? What drought?
B.C. roasts thanks to bad forest policy and climate change. “The average cost (of fighting forest fires) is just under $150 million — nearly three times what the government allowed for this year…” If I could breathe properly right now I’d let out a huge sigh.
More fuel to the fire: Province’s former bomber boss now on Conair payroll. “The Abbotsford company that beat the Mars bomber out of a provincial firefighting contract now has the province’s former air tanker program head on its payroll…”
Over in The Republic of Albertastan, the politicians are talking crazy talk: Two Canadian mayors want to launch an experiment that could change how we think about poverty forever.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Yiu has an idea that makes way too much sense for it to ever be implemented: How about a super-luxury vehicle tax for TransLink?
The politics of empty space: Vacant lot on Vancouver’s Robson Street is decades-old $8.5M real estate mystery. Yeah, what that area really needs is a gelato shop…
Soccer is not a crime: ‘I’m in charge here’: Mountie shuts down family soccer game. Good to finally have proof that douchebaggery is not restricted to the male gender.
Feels like I’ve been doing too many of these recently… In Loving Memory of Gary Duong.
