by Sean Orr | M’aidez: Vancouver May Day celebration marred by protests and stabbing. Marred by stabbing I get, but marred by protest? May Day is a global day of protest.

Wayne Regretzky: Gretzky wrong to call Harper “one of the greatest prime ministers ever”. There are better ways to become a senator, Wayne.

How can we celebrate any Prime Minister when this is actually a thing: Canada’s race problem? It’s even worse than America’s. Maybe our biggest problem is that we keep comparing ourselves to America.

Jesus Christy: Christ Church Cathedral receives $1 million contribution from province. But no money for badly needed, long overdue seismic upgrades to our crumbling schools? Or maybe she just bribed God, who has promised not to deliver us unto the evil of his earthquakes? Good deal, Christy. Good deal.

Meanwhile, Christy Clark pledges money, gives assurances amid Surrey gang war. Thereby further fuelling gang war. Le sigh.

Letter to Premier Clark: where’s your due diligence on Woodfibre LNG?. I am embarrassed to admit I had no idea about this Sukanto Tanoto person:

In 2012, he was fined $200 million US after conviction for tax evasion. His companies are known to flout government regulations. He has set up a system of corporations in B.C. which are so designed that every dollar made can be skated to Singapore where there’s no tax or royalty on LNG which under agreement with Canada, Singapore has the sole power to tax.

Catch me if you can: Vancouver developer denies links to Chinese corruption case.

Smoking gun: Postmedia Told Edmonton Journal to Endorse Jim Prentice, Says Edmonton Journal. This is completely disgusting but wholly unsurprising. They bought Sun News after all.

Bonus: My Life Is a Joke.
