I sometimes joke “And sometimes people ever borrow books!” when I think about all the things we have to do as librarians that have nothing to do with people taking out books and then returning the books so that others may enjoy them next. I’m not even going to discuss why someone would have to […]
Today, I wore the same jersey today that I’ve worn for years but for a less happy reason than skating with my son nearly a decade ago…
Very sad to hear that Lang’s Vietnamese restaurant burned down in an early morning fire yesterday. Along with Bushwakkers and Copper Kettle, Lang’s was one of my three “go to” Regina locations that weren’t just restaurants but local institutions. Way back in 2007, I wrote this about Lang’s in a post about my 10 favourite Regina restaurants: […]

Since he first ran for the leadership of the Sask NDP nearly a decade ago, Ryan Meili has been incredibly adept at harnessing new technologies to achieve political goals.
