So we’re not quite a week into the four-person race but I thought it might be interesting to assess the one thing that each campaign has done really well in my view. Cam – on the day he announced, he also launched a site that was comprehensive and fully formed in terms of policy and […]
Murray Mandryk’s most recent column characterized the various candidate launches as a chance for reach to engage in an animalistic display of strength and virility. Since we’re having fun with analogies, I thought I’d do Mandryk one better by coming up with analogies for, not only the launches, but each of the candidates as well! […]
I usually do a “Music Monday” post at the start of the week. But since the SK NDP Leadership has just started, I thought it might be fun (and alliterative!) to give over a few of my Mondays in the coming weeks and months to some thoughts on the race, Ryan Meili’s campaign and other […]
Usually, every Friday, I try to post a link to an interesting site or video or whatever. But today, I just want to ruminate on one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had in awhile. Today was the day that Ryan Meili kicked off his campaign for the leadership of the Saskatchewan NDP. I was […]
Now I Know (site currently down making this a bad day to post this but whatever) is an enjoyable little e-newsletter that comes out every couple of days with all kinds of interesting facts about all kinds of things.

Sometimes it’s tongue-in-cheek (I think) and sometimes serious, like when someone recently asked if I would consider running for city council (I think). When I used to work with […]
If you’re interested in learning more about Dr. Ryan Meili, a rumoured candidate for the leadership of the Saskatchewan NDP, why not pop down to Regina Public Library’s Central Branch next Wednesday evening for his Regina book launch event? This event follows successful launches at the public libraries in Swift Current and Yorkton as well […]
During the last Sask NDP leadership race, I spent a lot of time analysing the social media aspects of each candidate’s campaign. As we get another leadership race underway, the social media landscape has changed and grown, both in terms of services available and also the reach of sites like Facebook, Twitter and numerous other […]
As the Democratic National Convention kicks off this week, I’m reminded of the single speech that catapulted Obama into the national spotlight at the 2004 convention.
