Ryan Meili – The Next Leader of the Saskatchewan NDP!

We're a week away from the Saskatchewan NDP convention and it's hard to believe how far Ryan and his campaign have come in a few short months.  From being one of three people all working hard for the second place spot in the minds of voters, I would say that all indications – money raised, […]

Scroll Down for A Pic of Some Dork at the Emerging Technology Interest Group Pre-Conference

My session this morning went okay but for the second time in less than a month, I was disappointed that I didn't “nail it” the way I wanted to.  In library school, I used to regularly do presentations that kicked ass (he says humbly).  One got a comment from a student who won Highest Academic […]

Ten Reasons I’m Supporting Ryan Meili – #5 – He Gets Things Done

Ryan has a long and proven track record of accomplishing big goals at a relatively young age.  This begins before any of the things he’s perhaps better known for with the fact that he not only completed medical school but earned an award for highest standing in his medical clerkship.  I don’t want to get […]

Ten Reasons I’m Supporting Ryan Meili – #6 – His Innovative Use of Technology

It’s ironic that I’m sitting in Calgary airport as I type this, on my way to Montreal for the Canadian Library Association conference where I’ll be presenting on “Emerging Technology Use in Public Libraries” to the CLA’s Emerging Technology Interest Group.  I’ll be part of a line-up that includes one of the best known tech-savvy […]

Ten Reasons I'm Supporting Ryan Meili – #7 – He's My Age

I don't know the exact moment when it happened – I know it was somewhere between my 10 year high school reunion (when I was 27) and now (I'm 35).  But I started looking around and seeing that my former classmates – both from high school and University – have moved into some pretty prominent […]

Dwain Lingenfelter Gets One More Prominent Endorsement?

I knew that our campaign was the positive campaign but I didn't realise the scope of this good vs. uhm, not quite as good contest until I logged into Facebook this morning and saw the following: (Seriously, I knew that Link padding his Facebook page with hundreds of non-Saskatchewan residents from his wife's home country […]

Ten Reasons I'm Supporting Ryan Meili – #8 – He's Run A Positive Campaign

[Edit: It's funny that I tell the story of calling someone else an idiot down below and here I was, originally titling this post “#9” when it was actually “#8”.  The big difference is I can laugh at my stupidity and admit when I'm wrong.] When I watched the US election last year, some of […]

Money Bomb For Ryan Meili

I’m taking a one day break from the “Top 10 Reasons I’m Supporting Ryan Meili” series of posts to promote a really cool idea.  Last night, Ryan Meili’s campaign announced that it was launching a “Money Bomb“.  If you’re not familiar with the concept, the term money bomb originated in the last US election as […]

Ten Reasons I'm Supporting Ryan Meili – #9 – He's Got Very Little Baggage

One of Dwain Lingenfelter's greatest assets is also one of his greatest weaknesses.  He's been a part of Saskatchewan's political scene from 1978 until 2000 when he moved to Calgary to become an executive with Nexen Oil.  That's given him a great deal of experience in both politics and business during the past 30 years.  […]
