In 2009, I did a series of posts listing 10 reasons I was supporting Ryan Meili for Sask NDP Leader. I thought it might be fun to re-visit the idea to see if I could list 10 completely different reasons I’m supporting him this time around. (Come to think of it, that in itself is […]
Erin Weir’s campaign sent out an e-mail blast today entitled “Why We’re With Weir” which lists excerpts from various supporters and endorsers. Pretty standard stuff that we’ve seen from all campaigns except that this e-mail included a quote from somebody who I’m pretty sure isn’t “With Weir”…ME! I’m in good company as they also included […]
Back from a four-day weekend in Winnipeg where I was (mostly) unplugged – although I did send out one last membership pitch from the Tim Horton’s in Brandon on Friday afternoon which indicates that I’m either really dedicated or really deluded! I did see a few things as the membership deadline approached that made me […]
Inspired but tired after very fun night out at Ryan Meili’s “A Night To Re-Membership” event at the Artful Dodger. So I’ll just post a quick photo before bed and perhaps add more thoughts later!
There’s less than a week left until the deadline for selling NDP memberships (how did that come up so fast?) I’ve spent the evening spamming reaching out to pretty much any potential NDP member in my Facebook friends list (so I expect to be de-friended by quite a few people by tomorrow!) 😉 This exercise does […]
Killed two birds with one stone today – coming down to Weyburn for the latest #skndpldr debate and also getting to spend the night with Shea’s folks. Shea and I got to work Ryan’s table at the debate and, as usual, I’ve got a lot of random thoughts from the day… – I’ve been to […]
In 2009, I did a series of ten posts listing the reasons I was supporting Ryan Meili for the Leader of the Sask NDP. I’m pretty sure I could come up with ten different and equally viable reasons this time around. In fact, depending on how much time I have, I may very well do […]
Haven’t done one of these “5 Quick Hits” posts in awhile… Hockey I didn’t miss the NHL when it was locked out but I can honestly say that today was the first day I felt like coming home from work, popping open a beer and settling in to watch a game. Luckily that will be […]
I don’t know if Ryan Meili will win the Saskatchewan NDP leadership race. But as one of his supporters told me recently, we’re not not just leading in fundraising, we’re leading in “fun” raising and “friend” raising. And win or lose, that’s the kind of campaign I’m proud to be a part of and the […]
There are two kinds of Internet celebrities – those who get famous for something they did online (anyone from Justin Bieber to Psy to Paris Hilton and so on.) Then there are Internet celebrities who are famous for what they’ve *continually* do online (anyone from Cory Doctorow to Lawrence Lessig to Julian Assange and so […]
