A couple recent posts talking about extended breastfeeding got me thinking about the many minority opinions and beliefs I hold. Here's what I came up with…1. Extended Breastfeeding – Not even 20% of Canadian babies make it to nine months let alone past a year (or two!)2. Atheism – anywhere between 16-30% of the population […]
[Oops, forgot I pre-loaded this Music Monday post after coming across the song in a MetaFilter thread last week. So, combined with the post below, you get a 2-for-1 on the Music Monday posts this week!] Inspired by a wonderfully thorough MetaFilter post, I'll highlight a song some fans call the most beautiful song in […]
Jaime Garcia has launched a Money Bomb to help fund his campaign for the NDP nomination in Regina Coronation Park. He's called it “19 for the 19th” and is asking supporters and others who supporters of a new way of doing politics to donate $19 to help him reach the nomination meeting which will be […]
Your regularly scheduled Music Monday post will return at a later date. But having attended the NDP Leader's Gala tonight (great event – kudos to all the organizers!), I've got politics on the brain so I thought I'd post this video of Jaime Garcia being introduced in the Legislature by MLA Sandra Morin (I guess […]
I hope no one thinks they've stumbled upon NDP Watch with this post but I have to admit that I had to do a double (actually triple) take when I received the latest e-newsletter from the provincial NDP with the headline, “Leader's Gala, a snub to working people, and more policy videos.” For a moment, […]
Just in time for Regina's mini-World Cup soccer tournament, the WCP Cup, Jaime Garcia has added some information to his web site targeted specifically at Regina's soccer community. Jaime has a long history of involvement with Regina's soccer community and is still actively involved as a player and a coach. So in a riding where […]
Ryan Meili announced this morning that he’ll be running in Saskatoon-Sutherland in the next provincial election. Jurist has details including a bit about the fact that this field will be a big one, just like Regina-Coronation Park, with four people seeking the nomination. I thought this might be a prime opportunity to do a post […]
I'm with Louis Riel Trail – I support universal post-secondary education, not just for selected folks whose parents happened to take a very high risk job. And I've already made my feelings on the over-use of the word “hero” known on this blog. In my view, the true hero (of Tommy Douglas proportions) will be […]
[Edit: Jurist has replied to my comment on his site (which I've also posted below) to clarify that when he said Tamara had “the strongest web presence” of the Coronation Park candidates, he was referring to her “web site” presence, not her “online” presence. I guess it's semantics – when someone says “web“, I think […]
A few quick hits on my most popular topics… HockeyI really hate the Canucks and think it would be a travesty if one of the Sedin sisters won the Hart Trophy. I mean, a guy with a career average of 65 points a season gets a bunch of assists and is now one of the […]
