As we head into the first day of the Sask NDP Leadership Convention, I thought I’d post a fun article (h/t to GG) on behalf of the members of Team Meili, most of whom who are of the Y chromosome persuasion, will be sporting beards of varying degrees of length and lushness this weekend. Very […]
For some reason, the campaign didn’t want to use that “putting the hospital in “hospitality” line” for their invitations and instead went with something classy and dignified as befitting the next leader of the Saskatchewan NDP. Can you imagine? Anyhow, if you’re in Saskatoon for convention, why not stop by Ryan’s hospitality suite (and those […]
Stompin’ Tom Connors died today. Shea and I had the privilege of seeing him at the Calgary Folk Fest and is usually the case for old vets like him (see Dolly Parton at Craven or any number of “vets” who’ve come to Regina Folk Fest), he came out and stole the show. How fitting that […]
No word on who Chewy is supporting…
Hard to believe it’s less than a week until the Leadership Convention! I was chatting with someone over the weekend about how the party might build unity once the race is over, no matter who wins.

During past Freedom to Read weeks, I’ve noticed that everything starts to look like a Freedom of Expression issue. (That’s probably a good thing that we should keep in mind year-round anyhow.) For example, we’re only halfway through the week and I’ve had three distinct experiences that weren’t official FTRW events but which brought forward […]
Given the hash tags I’m using for this post, I suspect there are going to be a couple different audiences for this post – those who are interested in content related to Freedom to Read Week and those who’ve seen the writing I’ve done as Social Media Director for one of the candidates in the […]
More thoughts to come I’m sure… But for now, just a shot of two happy, positive, unified politicians. Great to see!

I’m not going to editorialize too much in this post. But I will say that I found it very revealing to see how the two MLA’s in the #skndpldr race framed their responses to the announcement of a joint Meili-Weir press conference tomorrow morning. Although many (including myself on occasion) have equated Trent and Cam […]
I hope everyone had a Happy Family Day (as brought to you by the Sask NDP in 2007…although to be fair, the original and longest-standing Family Day in Canada was brought in by those pro-family, and apparently anti-business, Conservatives in Alberta.) So what other topic is there to discuss today except what impact the candidates’ […]
