Ryan’s the master of puns but “Make it Ryan” instead of “Make it Rain” works pretty well too, especially after you manage to win a couple hundred bucks in the 50/50 draw at a Steak Night fundraiser! Now I can make another donation to Ryan’s campaign *and* pay for all my drinks at the all-inclusive […]
This is a video I made in the lead-up to the 2013 Sask NDP Leadership Vote. And honestly, do I detect an echo? So many of the things that Ryan led in during in the last leadership race are areas where he’s once again leading in – fundraising, “fun”raising, engaging members, online engagement, etc. etc. etc. […]
(The original FB thread has been deleted but I’m posting this with the author’s permission.) This post is ridiculously long so here’s the TL;DR version: Although there is a wide spectrum of engagement by all Sask NDP members, it generally divides between those who are very engaged and those who are less engaged.

I was Googling around looking for something else the other day and stumbled upon this article from Global News from after the Spring Session of the Legislature last May where Global gave letter grades to some of the most high profile Ministers and MLA’s in both parties. I took away a few things from this article: […]
Good to see that the organization comprised of urban municipalities across Saskatchewan passed a resolution at their recent convention calling for members to advocate for increased funding for public libraries.

There are a lot of ways to indicate who has momentum in a leadership race – some more […]
If you’re new to the NDP and/or legitimately trying to decide who’s the best choice for Leader out of Ryan Meili and Trent Wotherspoon, the TED Talk that Ryan gave at the University of Regina in 2012 is probably the quickest and easiest way to get a sense of who Ryan is, what he stands […]
Ryan Meili is far ahead of any candidate in either race in terms of number of individuals donating to his campaign, he is currently out-fundraising his NDP opponent, and he is also the *only* leadership candidate in either race not accepting corporate or union donations. For that reason, he has to rely solely on donations […]
Of all the hardcore political junkies I know/follow on Twitter/Facebook/elsewhere, I honestly don’t remember anyone picking Moe to win. I would say about 60% picked Chevy, 30% picked Koch (including me) and 10% picked Wyant.
