So it’s been a pretty tough week for Team Orange… The Saskatchewan NDP got a shellacking in the provincial election last Monday, a loss which many are blaming at least partly on still lingering divisions between the 50.3% of the party that supported Cam Broten and the 49.7% of the party that supported Ryan Meili in the last […]
I occasionally post on Reddit but most of my comments get a handful of upvotes (maybe) then disappear into obscurity. Lately, as I’ve been following the Bernie Sanders campaign from afar and knowing how much the campaign is being driven by Reddit users, I’ve been a bit more active than usual adding my theories, observations and/or snark on […]
As I mentioned yesterday, soon after the last Sask NDP Leadership Race in 2013, with Ryan Meili’s extremely close loss to Cam Broten still fresh and painful, I posted that I wanted two main things from the new Leader: 1) in the short term, genuine, humble outreach to other teams to acknowledge what a close […]
This musician seems very appropriate for my Music Monday post today – Colter Wall who is still my favourite Wall from Swift Current! 😉 But in all seriousness, though I am not a fan of Colter’s dad’s politics, I respect that he is a masterful politician. So congrats to Premier Brad Wall for his third majority victory […]
(I have no idea what the statute-of-limitations on being known as a “Meili guy” is but since I was such a vocal supporter of Ryan during the last SK NDP leadership race, I feel obligated to mention that everything in this post in my own opinion, no former Meili team members saw or approved this […]
This site allows you to simulate the current US election, playing as either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. I’ve tried it as Donald Trump a couple times but have lost both times. It reminds me of a very similar game (can’t remember the name) that our Grade Six teacher created by manually typing out line-by-line […]
I haven’t finished the whole thing but this seems like a fairly even-handed, exhaustive look at this controversy from both Clinton and the Justice Department point-of-views.
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. I’m an NDP supporter but they need to find a way to involve leaders of the Liberal, Green and PC Parties. Democracy and […]
Former Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford, died of cancer today at age 46. Whether you loved him or hated him, you’ll remember him. Of course, that’s mostly because he was a wild-eyed addict who regularly made racist and offensive comments topped by his surreal admission that he used crack while in office. It’s not a perfect parallel […]
Barack Obama made history today as the first US President to visit Cuba in 60 years. I was trying to think of a good song to post to commemorate this moment – perhaps a popular Cuban song or a recent hit by a Cuban-American rap/dance artist? But then I remembered this song about the fall […]
