Stinky tofu is delicious, we’re told.
Pretend Lansdowne Park is Bangkok at the open-air Ottawa Asian Festival Summer Night Market, with over 45 food vendors, many from Toronto including the infamous Hong Kong Stinky Tofu — just follow the line — and a festival-only introduction to Philippine BBQ from Ottawa’s Meryenda. We’re also told the The Happy Twist potato or taro, sort-of-chips-on-a-stick is a must-try.
This first festival in the park is open 8 p.m. to midnight on Friday, noon to midnight on Saturday and 2 to 9 p.m. on Sunday, with non-stop entertainment, including band Maybe Refuge, singers Kanna Qiu, Denis Ng, Khloe Cu and Gary Cheng and a kids’ zone. Admission is free, with food ranging from $3 to $10. (There is a Redblacks game on Friday, so be prepared for parking woes and take the bike instead.) www.ottawaasianfest.com
Will the Redblacks win again?
Speaking of the Ottawa Redblacks, if they win against the Edmonton Eskimos — and there is a good chance they will, sports enthusiasts tell us — it will be the first time they will have won three games in a season, three games in a row and be their first undefeated streak, 7:30 p.m., TD Place. Go ready to cheer. capitaltickets.ca

Second Prize Nature Category, Singles, World Press Photo 15. Lewa Downs, Northern Kenya: A group of young Samburu warriors encounter a rhino for the first time in their lives. Most people in Kenya never get the opportunity to see the wildlife that exists literally in their own backyard. Story: organized by sophisticated, heavily armed criminal networks and fueled by heavy demand from newly minted millionaires in emerging markets, poaching is devastating the great animals of the African plains. Much needed attention has been focused on the plight of wildlife and the conflict between poachers and increasingly militarized wildlife rangers, but very little has been said about the indigenous communities on the frontlines of the poaching wars and the work that is being done to strengthen them. These communities hold the key to saving Africa's great animals. Ami Vitale, USA / World Press Photo 15
Second Prize Spot News Category, Stories, World Press Photo 15. 19-21 February, Kiev, Ukraine: A protester calls for medical aid for a comrade shot dead. After several months of violence, anti-government protesters remained mobilized by holding barricades in Kiev's Independence Square, known simply as the Maidan. On Saturday, 20 February, unidentified snipers opened fire on unarmed protesters as they were advancing on Instituska Street. According to an official source, 70 protesters were shot dead. Ukrainian riot police claimed that several police officers were wounded or shot dead by snipers as well. An unofficial source said that snipers opened fire on the police and protesters at the same time in order to provoke both camps. 20 February was the bloodiest day of the Maidan protests, and two days after, President Viktor Yanukovych left the country.

The shenanigans of Dread Pirate Roberts, princess Buttercup, swordsman Inigo Montoya and R.O.U.S. will grace an outdoor screen as SuzyQ doughnuts shows comedy/fantasy/adventure film The Princess Bride (the most awesome movie of all time; discuss) at sundown, 991 Wellington St. W. We wonder if there will be peanut or ‘inconceivable’ themed doughnuts on offer? suzyq.ca
