Obama Unleashed

It’s hard to know which way to turn if you’re a political junkie and there’s a municipal election, a provincial election, (nearly) a federal election and a major US election – all within a couple weeks. But this one definitely caught my eye yesterday…

Voted! (And a Good Omen For An Orange Wave?) #skpoli #skvotes

Legally, I don’t think you can display campaign materials or actively campaign at a polling station. But when we went to vote tonight, I thought it was a good omen to see a wall of orange chairs as we exited our polling place! On a completely unrelated fashion note, I thought Shea’s orange mask was […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NDP Means A Healthy Society (February 2013) #skpoli #skvotes

This is a very cool poster that Ryan Meili’s team created during his 2013 leadership run. The design may be retro but the message is more timely than ever as Saskatchewan and the entire world try to figure out the best way forward in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. I don’t know about you […]

(Not Quite) Live Blogging The #skvotes Leader’s Debate #skpoli

A few hot takes as I watched the debate… Does Molly Thomas still live in Sask? If not, weird optics to fly in a debate moderator from out-of-province during a pandemic.

Music Monday – “Well, the nobles said to the people, ‘You better close your public schools/Until the events of death has ending, you better close your churches too.'”

Jack White absolutely kicked ass on SNL this weekend as a last-minute, emergency fill-in guest.
