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 […]

Politics & Facebook Friends Revisited

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 […]

Fundraising Steak Supper For Jaime Garcia This Saturday

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?

Saturday Snap – Playing Tag With Pace

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 […]

Jaime Garcia for Regina – Coronation Park

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, […]

A Couple Political Notes

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.  Presumably he'll be running in Saskatoon and that likely means one of the ridings currently held by members of the Saskatchewan Party (Sutherland, Greystone) […]

The Saskatchewan Party Government – Now With Over 100% Incompetence!

100% is a good mark if you're taking an accounting class, not so good when it reflects how wrong you were with your budget predictions.  I wrote about this when our Saskatchewan Party government was out by 95% with their potash reveue projections late last year.  But man, it takes a special kind of stupid […]

"Saskatchewan is used to leading, trying new things and being co-operative" – SILS officially launched!

The Saskatchewan Library & Information Services Consortium (SILS) which will bring together ten separate library systems across the province plus the government agency responsible for library services officially launched this morning at RPL's George Bothwell branch.  Four systems are live already (Saskatoon Public Library, Palliser which is based in Moose Jaw, Southeast which is based […]
