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 […]
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 […]
[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.

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. 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) […]
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 […]
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 […]
