As I have on this blog every year since 2007, I’m planning a week-long series of posts relating to the unofficial Haunakah (er, or week-long holiday of your choice) for librarians everywhere – Freedom to Read Week! Tune in for the rest of the week for seven crazy nights of fun! To start it off, let’s […]
Freedom to Read Week starts next week but since a couple of my colleagues my colleagues were on CTV Morning Live today promoting RPL’s various offerings (including a great event you should take in tomorrow night if you’re anywhere near Regina), I thought I’d start things off a bit early too with a very relevant quote […]
Much love from your boys!
Erin Weir’s campaign sent out an e-mail blast today entitled “Why We’re With Weir” which lists excerpts from various supporters and endorsers. Pretty standard stuff that we’ve seen from all campaigns except that this e-mail included a quote from somebody who I’m pretty sure isn’t “With Weir”…ME! I’m in good company as they also included […]
Back from a four-day weekend in Winnipeg where I was (mostly) unplugged – although I did send out one last membership pitch from the Tim Horton’s in Brandon on Friday afternoon which indicates that I’m either really dedicated or really deluded!

Killed two birds with one stone today – coming down to Weyburn for the latest #skndpldr debate and also getting to spend the night with Shea’s folks. Shea and I got to work Ryan’s table at the debate and, as usual, I’ve got a lot of random thoughts from the day… – I’ve been to […]
Shea kindly sent me this video of a couple young Dutch men who volunteered to have electrodes put on their abdomen to simulate the increasingly painful contractions of labour. It’s not in English but I’d say pain is a pretty universal language – although if I’m being a smart-ass, I’d also wonder if they were […]
I don’t know if Ryan Meili will win the Saskatchewan NDP leadership race. But as one of his supporters told me recently, we’re not not just leading in fundraising, we’re leading in “fun” raising and “friend” raising. And win or lose, that’s the kind of campaign I’m proud to be a part of and the […]
