Review of @willowonwascana “Dining in the Dark” Event #yqr @willowwineguy @mecheftim

Five Quick Thoughts on #skdebate

This debate format is fucking terrible.  Why not just give Wall and Broten boxing gloves instead of having them repeatedly talk over each other for two minutes at a time?  Beyond useless.

The Canadian Donald Trump: How Rob Ford Won By Gaining The Support of People Who Don’t Vote…Except For Him

Former Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford, died of cancer today at age 46.
