Meili Monday – Alberta Bound

Not sure if you saw but Ryan Meili’s campaign is using Storify, a cool little tool that allows people and organizations to easily create a chronological timeline, pulling in content from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Google and other sources. Ryan’s most recent Storify update includes a section on his presentation at the Alberta NDP convention as […]

A Quick Note on Online Polls in the #skndpldr Leadership Race

I hadn’t written about this last week because I didn’t want to come across as complaining just because Ryan didn’t do well during the first online polls conducted by CTV in Saskatoon and Regina about the leadership race. But I saw that Accidental Jurist wrote about how online polls can indicate a candidate’s support today but neglected […]

Friday Fun Link – @RyanMeili ‘s #skndpldr campaign launch video

A couple nice touches – how the words of the three endorsers blend into one and also that shot near the end of the two babies “talking”.

One Thing Each #skndpldr Campaign Has Done Extremely Well So Far

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 […]

The #skndpldr Analogy Game

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! […]

Meili Monday – A Political Disclaimer #skndpldr

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 […]

Friday Fun Link – A Fun Day! #skndpldr @ryanmeili

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 […]

Social Media Showdown – #SKNDPLDR Edition

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 […]
