Now, this is a good rant. And what makes a good rant? Truth is a big part of it. This person hits the nail on the head that the situation at both Library & Archives Canada and CLA are disgraceful – LAC is being absolutely decimated by Stephen Harper’s War on Information while bending over […]
My colleague on the Meili 2.0 Team, Aaron Genest, has written a blog post about the level of animosity that he’s observed in the Sask NDP Leadership race so far. The topic of how we talk to (and about) each other has been on my thoughts as well for a variety of different reasons – […]
This is probably not a great thing to admit to while not only doing a lot of writing about but also heavily volunteering for one of four NDP leadership candidates here in Saskatchewan. But I have to admit that if I still lived in Calgary Centre, I’m fairly certain I’d be voting for the Green […]
So MeiliMondays have replaced Music Monday for the last couple months which is cool and fine but makes me want to just post a really awesome song now and again. This little clip, a song I’m sure I’ve posted before but can’t find because I cleverly post song lyrics instead of song titles for those […]
Today, Ryan Meili’s campaign announced a very unique fundraiser aimed at getting 50 people to donate $50 (or more!) for a copy of his book, “A Healthy Society” in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Medicare. For a $50 donation, people are able to get a signed copy of a book written by the person […]
Others have weighed in with their thoughts on the first All-Candidates Forum (and one thing that is clear from the varied commentary I’ve seen online and heard directly from others) is that no one really “won” the debate and instead, by the end of the night, the (relatively) equal footing of the various candidates so […]
The Tesla company which produces electric cars and which Mitt Romney infamously labelled a “loser” after Barack Obama’s government invested in it, recently won MotorTrend’s “Car of the Year” award by unanimous vote which was also the first win by an electric car in the 64-year history of the award. (Now who’s laughing, Mitt?) Now I […]
A pretty heart-warming video, even if I’ve been trained to be cynical enough about videos like this that at the end I thought it was probably a viral video for Coke! (Turns out it’s a charitable foundation called Love Everybody). (via LyinRPL)
Just before the Sask NDP leadership campaign started, I compared a variety of social media metrics for each of the potential candidates. Now that we’re a couple months into things, I thought I’d revisit this idea but with a twist. Instead of looking up all of the numbers (and how they’ve changed) for each candidate […]
Penn Jillette with a great monologue/rant about various aspects of religion & politics and where they intersect – from how most “Christians” have united under a single banner in the last 40 years at the expense of early atheists like Mark Twain to the growing influence of non-believers in politics plus Mitt Romney’s magic underwear […]
