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 […]
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.

Topic for a different post I think!) Anyhew, had a chuckle when a neighbour noticed our signs – one clearly for the NDP but the municipal […]
This video has some good insights into modern politics and especially in light of current battles over seating Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg’s replacement. It looks specifically at some of the reasons why liberals struggle against conservatives who are less likely to be bound to rules and precedent in their pursuit of power.
With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]
