Hello Premier Calvert,I know that you don't know me – I mean, we're Facebook friends but I see that you don't log in that often – so we don't really get a chance to chat. So I thought a letter on my blog might be the best way to reach you.First off, congrats on your […]
I slipped over to the University today to sit in on the press conference for Ryan Meili's official launch of his campaign videos. The release of these videos was tied into the larger theme of the changing role of technology and especially its abiility to level the playing field in modern politics. (See his press […]
I don't know how many of these videos Ryan has up his sleeve but the first on Aboriginal Issues and now this one on Agriculture make me excited to see the rest – they're very professionally done and give a great insight into his way of thinking. The strategy of creating these videos reminds me […]
Found this on Ryan's Facebook page where he labeled it “My Favourite Endorsement Yet…From a U of S Student”Dear Ryan Meili, I was in attendance at the U of S leadership forum. Of all the candidates, I thought you were the most compelling. However, and I mean this with no disrespect, how do you expect […]

One of the […]
Just trying to summarize points I'm seeing all over the place about Link's Water(hen)Gate scandal (kudos to KS on Facebook for the name) – on blogs, on CBC news stories and other wire stories from across Canada among various other sources. This is getting to be a pretty big scandal and if the NDP make […]
This is a video montage I made about the Ryan Meili campaign, set to “Canadian Skye” by Spirit of the West…
A week ago, I did a post where I gave my thoughts on what Ryan Meili needed to do to win the NDP leadership campaign. In that post, I observed: “If I'm being completely honest, Ryan winning on the first ballot would seem all but impossible barring some major scandal for Link…or a major endorsement […]
Just got back from Saskatoon after a few days there for a demo of the new SILS software and then the SLA conference. I started doing a long narrative entry to sum up the week but that's not happening so here's some “I'm too tired to think” random highlights…1. My presentation went well and the […]
