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 […]
I recently had a very interesting conversation with a high-level supporter of another Sask NDP candidate. I made some comment about the NDP being in a great position to renew itself with all of the great young candidates that are running. He replied something along the lines that “only your candidate is talking renewal.” That […]
This is the CBC story from the Regina Coronation Park & Democrats Abroad US Election viewing party last Tuesday. (You can also play “spot the Jason” and “spot the Shea” in the background of a few shots.) This is probably also a good place to record some recent Pace cuteness/genius moments: related to the election, […]
Inspirational… And this clip from Rachel Maddow is pretty good too.
Pundits were split along ideological lines but most statistical analysis predicted it was a near-sure thing. But I still wasn’t sure myself, not after the paths for a Romney victory faded away, not even after CNN projected an Obama victory. But I’ve just watched Mitt Romney concede, am awaiting Obama’s acceptance speech and it’s going […]
With Ryan Meili in New York today for the launch of “A Healthy Society” at Bluestockings Bookstore in Manhattan at 7pm (and with him getting some pretty high profile attention via a post by Niki Ashton on Michael Moore’s web site), I thought it might be worth re-posting a link to an earlier blog post […]
Max FineDay asked the #skndpldr candidates who they were going as for Halloween on Twitter. Ryan Meili replied that Che Guevara was in the lead but he was open to suggestions. Somebody suggested he dress as Tommy Douglas and Erin Weir replied that all candidates could go as the leaders I compared them to in a previous post […]
You could probably do this for any two cities in Canada but since I lived in Calgary and am now back in Regina, those are the two cities I’m most familiar with. And they truly are two cities that share many similarities – oil & gas-based economies creating boom times, comprised of many people of […]
