More thoughts to come I’m sure… But for now, just a shot of two happy, positive, unified politicians. Great to see!
I’m not going to editorialize too much in this post. But I will say that I found it very revealing to see how the two MLA’s in the #skndpldr race framed their responses to the announcement of a joint Meili-Weir press conference tomorrow morning. Although many (including myself on occasion) have equated Trent and Cam […]
I hope everyone had a Happy Family Day (as brought to you by the Sask NDP in 2007…although to be fair, the original and longest-standing Family Day in Canada was brought in by those pro-family, and apparently anti-business, Conservatives in Alberta.) So what other topic is there to discuss today except what impact the candidates’ […]
With the release of the January financials on Friday, I need to update the chart I posted on Thursday to create a snapshot of a different kind than I usually post. Ryan Meili’s team is consistently proving in this Leadership Race that they can provide exactly what the NDP needs at this point in time […]
In 2009, when I did a list of the 10 Reasons I was supporting Ryan Meili, my #1 was “His Potential as a Transformative Leader for the Province“. I briefly considered making that my #1 choice again as I still firmly believe that Ryan, not only has that potential but is three years further along […]
(Image From Alice Funke, Pundits Guide) There are probably still people who think that Ryan’s 2009 run was a fluke. Sure, he came out of nowhere to finish second to one of the most experienced politicians of the last 30 years while beating out a sitting MLA and a former party President. But really, they […]
September 2012 – Self-Selecting Infotainment CTV News Poll February 2013 – Scientific Phone Poll by Non-Partisan Praxis Analytics Waaaaay back in September, right after all four candidates had officially declared, CTV in Regina and Saskatoon made the subject of their nightly online poll “Who would you like to see lead the Sask NDP?” Right after […]
If you had $900,000 and someone offered to give you another hundred grand for free so you had a cool million, would you take it? Of course – I think anyone would agree that gaining something that costs you nothing but which adds incredible value to what you already have is a great deal. That’s […]
One of Ryan’s volunteers has worked on numerous campaigns at all levels of government over the past twenty-five years. And one day, she happily told a few of us that she’s never had so much fun working on a campaign in her life! I’ve only worked on a few but I had to agree – […]
I was recently reminded by a long-time NDP member that, in the interests of unity, it’s important not to ascribe negative motives to candidate’s actions, especially during a Leadership race. I don’t think I was particularly judging anyone negatively in the circumstance. But it was a timely reminder given that I was planning to write […]
