As previously mentioned, we went to Indian Head to celebrate my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary last weekend. As part of the trip down memory lane, we ended up watching some old home movies one night. My dad regularly filmed holidays and parties and family gatherings with an 8mm camera when we were kids so, when […]

What If Saskatchewan Had Proportional Representation? #skpoli #skvotes
With at least eight ridings still to be decided, I’ll likely do a longer post with some thoughts on the Sask Election once the mail-in ballots are counted and we know what the final count is. But after a conversation on Twitter with a former high school classmate who felt the BC election didn’t represent […]

10 Reasons The Sask Party Doesn’t Deserve Another Mandate #skpoli #skvotes
Maybe I should’ve posted this earlier since a lot of people (including Shea and I) have already voted by mail or in the early polls. But with the bulk of the votes still to come tomorrow and the polls showing a tightening race, I figured I’d do one last post about the current provincial election […]
Voted! (And a Good Omen For An Orange Wave?) #skpoli #skvotes
Legally, I don’t think you can display campaign materials or actively campaign at a polling station. But when we went to vote tonight, I thought it was a good omen to see a wall of orange chairs as we exited our polling place! On a completely unrelated fashion note, I thought Shea’s orange mask was […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NDP Means A Healthy Society (February 2013) #skpoli #skvotes
This is a very cool poster that Ryan Meili’s team created during his 2013 leadership run. The design may be retro but the message is more timely than ever as Saskatchewan and the entire world try to figure out the best way forward in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. I don’t know about you […]
(Not Quite) Live Blogging The #skvotes Leader’s Debate #skpoli
A few hot takes as I watched the debate… Does Molly Thomas still live in Sask? If not, weird optics to fly in a debate moderator from out-of-province during a pandemic. Moe looks very nervous right out of the gate, not what I expected from the Premier and frontrunner. Drink! Moe says NDP has record […]
10 Thoughts on The Eve of #skpoli Debate
I haven’t been writing a lot about politics lately but wanted to note a few thoughts as the Saskatchewan provincial campaign is about halfway done and the leaders of the two main parties will have their only debate tomorrow night. There’s still a large gap but some encouraging news in a poll today that shows […]
Saturday Snap – Divided Family?
‘Tis the time of year when lawn signs spring from the ground for the provincial, municipal and school board elections (why are school boards elected but not library boards? Topic for a different post I think!) Anyhew, had a chuckle when a neighbour noticed our signs – one clearly for the NDP but the municipal […]
