I wrote a lot about what the number of Facebook friends may or may not mean in a political race during the NDP leadership campaign last year. I'm not sure what if anything these same numbers might mean for a more local race like the one that's currently happening in Regina – Coronation Park. But […]
My candidate for the NDP Coronation Park nomination, Jaime Garcia is having a steak supper fundraiser this Saturday night. If you're in Regina, why not come out and support a future leader of the province?
We went to the Western Development Museum in Moose Jaw today (I didn't post it on my Facebook in case someone saw my status update and broke into our home as many will be led to believe is inevitable if they saw the fear-mongering report on the CKCK evening news yesterday – terrible! ) We […]
As I mentioned recently on this blog, there is currently a nomination race happening to determine the NDP candidate in the provincial riding of Regina – Coronation Park, a riding which happens to be my home constituency. There are four announced candidates: Jaime Garcia – a labour activist who grew up in Coronation Park, […]
Ryan Meili posted a brief message on his Facebook page saying that he will soon be making an announcement about which riding he'll be running in for the 2010 Provincial Election.

Four systems are live already (Saskatoon Public Library, Palliser which is based in Moose Jaw, Southeast which is based […]
I thought somebody (the CLA Committee on Intellectual Freedom?) released an annual report on book challenges during the past year. I wasn't able to find it but the official site for Freedom to Read does have a list highlighting 100 different books that have been challenged in the past decade. One entry in particular caught […]
SaskTel Max, a Saskatchewan-based cable TV service has a feature where they have local content available on-demand for their subscribers. This might be a clip profiling an upcoming festival or visiting a few of the best known restaurants around town. Or, in a week or two, it will include a guided tour to the services […]
