Music Monday – "There she goes again/Mixing melody with a memory/She's got a song for everything/Everywhere she's been, everyone she's pleased"

iTunes Canada has a free single of the week and this week happens to be local Regina indy buzz band, Library Voices, who are sort of a western Canadian version of Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene or dare I say it, Polyphonic Spree – any of those recent bands (“collectives” would probably be a better […]

Saturday Snap – Meet Me in St. Louis (Saskatchewan)

I was in Prince Albert for a couple days last week so stopped at the historic (and endangered) St. Louis Bridge on the way home for a quick photo.

Jaime Garcia's "19 for the 19th" Money Bomb

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 […]

Introducing Jaime Garcia

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 […]

Ole ole ole!

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 […]

Friday Fun Link – Ryan Meili Revisited (April 9, 2010)

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 […]

Who Has the Strongest Online Presence in Regina-Coronation Park? My Vote Goes to Jaime Garcia

[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 […]
