Murray Mandryk of the Leader Post has some thoughts on the unofficial jockeying for position that’s happening behind-the-scenes as potential candidates position themselves for a run at the leadership of the Saskatchewan NDP. (I think candidates can officially begin announcing next month maybe?) Based on Mandryk’s article, here are the presumed candidates (alphabetically) with what […]
About a month ago, there was a minor uproar online after a female patron at a comedy show posted of an extremely unsettling experience her and her friend had on a Tumblr blog. The two women decided to go to a show featuring well-known comic Dane Cook (who they’d heard of) with Daniel Tosh (who […]
Mitt Romney announced Paul Ryan as his vice-president pick last Friday which led to a flurry of coverage (is it just me or did this announcement come out of nowhere?

Normally I’m pretty happy with my quiet little “soap blog”, the few regular visitors I have each day plus the spike I see when I write about something timely or controversial or whatever. I don’t usually do a lot to promote my site more widely – I no longer syndicate to Facebook or tweet every […]
Hello Mr. Wall, We didn’t get formally introduced but we met briefly this past weekend at Cypress Hills Provincial Park. It was my son who was on the otherwise empty outdoor ampitheatre stage, singing and dancing, when you walked by. As you passed, you joked about enjoying the free show then carried on your walk […]
Former Saskatchewan Premier and Healthcare Commission Chair, Roy Romanow celebrates Canada Day with a column in the Globe & Mail on perhaps our most cherished Canadian institution. Compared to what’s happening in the US right now where the Supreme Court had to rule on President Obama’s healthcare plan just last week to try to extend […]
