So I’ve been thinking about the “Long Game” quite a bit lately. Essentially, “Playing the Long Game” refers to the idea of not just focusing on an immediate goal but also laying the groundwork for something important further in the future, even if it seems like something unattainable initially. (A similar idea is often expressed […]
I usually post this at the start of the playoffs but forgot to do so this year. But I did honestly make these picks before the playoff began – I’ve got a patron who I often chat about hockey with. He asked who I was picking so this is what I told him… Bold is […]
I have no idea if this is a concerted effort but if not, it’s quite a coincidence. In the last 24 hours on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and in letters to the editor (including in the comments), a variety of people have been putting forward the idea that the next leader of the Sask NDP should be a woman.

Don’t just mention that you’re 20 points up against Trump in head-to-head polls; compare that to how Hillary does against Trump. Similarly, when they bring up her delegate count including super delegates, point out that these delegates changed to Obama […]
It feels somewhat wrong and somehow right to post this list on International Women’s Day. But as she does with so many other things, Hillary Clinton has made her gender an integral part of her campaign (which, in turn, has polarized female voters around the issue of gender) so is there a better time? For that reason, here’s my […]
