Saturday Snap – One Word to Describe Each #skndpldr Candidate (and the Past Leader Each Most Resembles)

We’re in Weyburn this weekend visiting Shea’s family and had to make a visit to Creelman today since her uncle has just passed away and his wife has asked me to do the eulogy. Since I was already halfway there, I decided to carry on to Arcola where, in addition to the Cannington NDP AGM, […]
