Found this on Ryan's Facebook page where he labeled it “My Favourite Endorsement Yet…From a U of S Student”Dear Ryan Meili, I was in attendance at the U of S leadership forum. Of all the candidates, I thought you were the most compelling. However, and I mean this with no disrespect, how do you expect […]
Something in this CBC story caught my eye and I thought I'd share it here. David Hale, the lawyer who's been charged with investigating WaterhenGate made this comment:“'We just need to do this for Mr. Lingenfelter; we need to do it for Ms. Higgins; we need to do it for Mr. Pedersen; and we need […]
When I first started following the NDP leadership race, I observed that there were many similarities between Ryan Meili and Barack Obama (and by extension, I saw Dwain Lingenfelter as playing the Hillary Clinton role – inevitable front-runner with name recognition and deep party ties being challenged by young upstart community organizer.) One of the […]
Just trying to summarize points I'm seeing all over the place about Link's Water(hen)Gate scandal (kudos to KS on Facebook for the name) – on blogs, on CBC news stories and other wire stories from across Canada among various other sources. This is getting to be a pretty big scandal and if the NDP make […]
This is a video montage I made about the Ryan Meili campaign, set to “Canadian Skye” by Spirit of the West…
A week ago, I did a post where I gave my thoughts on what Ryan Meili needed to do to win the NDP leadership campaign. In that post, I observed: “If I'm being completely honest, Ryan winning on the first ballot would seem all but impossible barring some major scandal for Link…or a major endorsement […]
Accidental Jurist has an excellent analysis of the campaigns so far of each candidate in the provincial NDP leadership race – how they got into the race, what they've done so far, the strategies they'll need to be successful now that the membership deadline has passed and the campaign's entered its final phase. Lingenfelter – […]
Shea and I managed to wrangle a babysitter (thanks dad!) so were both able to attend the final NDP leadership debate forum tonight.The Accidental Jurist and I ended up sitting next to each other and when I introduced Shea to him, I explained, “he's the guy who puts thought into his posts, fact-checks and keeps […]
No major Meili news today in what has become an “all Meili, all the time” blog (!) so I thought I'd move down the road a bit… A young NDP candidate in BC (who also happens to be gay) withdrew from his nomination after a photo of him holding a female's breast from his Facebook […]
As a follow-up to my post about the list of donors who've given more than $250 to each of the four NDP leadership candidates, I'd like to point out that The Accidental Jurist has done some investigative journalism (at least someone is – thanks for nothing MSM!) into the background of each candidates' major donors […]
