No April Fool’s jokes can top our current government’s actions and non-responses.

Just absolutely outstanding how you have the inside knowledge of that is going on in the area.

Rumor has it that you are taking a new position as News Director in Thomson Manitoba .

I think this is your best one yet. It wasn't until the oligarch line that I realized this didn't make sense. No disrespect to NMU, but I'm certain an oligarch would buy access to a university with a little bit of a higher profile. So I fell for the first six stories hook, line and sinker, although I did mutter to myself after reading each of those that they were terrible ideas. Bravo!
