Meili 2.0: Party Renewal In The Information Age

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.

Music Monday – "Either side of Saskatoon/That is the longest leg/813 miles, she's my prairie girl/And the longest stretch of road in the world" (May 11, 2009)

This song was going through my head while driving up to Saskatoon for the SLA conference last weekend…

Ryan Meili – Agriculture Video

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 […]

Ryan Meili's Favourite Endorsement and a New Tribute Video

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 […]

Ryan Meili Takes *Slightly* Different Approach to First Nations Peoples Than Dwain Lingenfelter

When I first started following the NDP leadership race, I observed that there were many similarities between Ryan Meili and Barack Obama (and by extension, I saw Dwain Lingenfelter as playing the Hillary Clinton role – inevitable front-runner with name recognition and deep party ties being challenged by young upstart community organizer.)  One of the […]

Music Monday – "I was sitting there watching TV/Wendy came and sat on my knee."

In honour of the last episode of “Corner Gas” tonight, here's one of my favourite songs by the Odds, the former band of Craig Northey who wrote the “Corner Gas” theme song, “Not A Lot Going On”.

Mike Ribeiro's *Insane* Shootout Goal

I missed posting yesterday but that means I get to post this today.  There have been lots of great shootout goals since they brought the new rule into the NHL but usually players don't get too creative because they're still playing for points.  But perhaps because the season's almost over and Dallas and Colorado are […]

Music Monday – "Snow's so merciless/Poor old Montreal/In spite of everything that's happened/In spite of it all"

Time to break out the long-neglected “CLA Conference” tag.  Just got word today that I was approved to go to this year's CLA conference in Montreal at the end of May!  I'm especially happy about this because I'd had a feeler extended to see if I'd be coming to the conference and available to sit […]
