Saturday Snap – An Updated #skndpldr Chart of @ryanmeili Fundraising & Social Media Success

With the release of the January financials on Friday, I need to update the chart I posted on Thursday to create a snapshot of a different kind than I usually post.

In 2009, when I did a list of the 10 Reasons I was supporting Ryan Meili, my #1 was “His Potential as a Transformative Leader for the Province“. I briefly considered making that my #1 choice again as I still firmly believe that Ryan, not only has that potential but is three years further along [...]
