This is where myself and two colleagues from Saskatchewan had supper tonight after the end of the CLA conference…It's pretty amazing for a number of reasons. This restaurant is completely in the dark once you leave the reception area where you order your meal and leave all forms of illumination in lockers (cell phones, lighters, […]

Ryan Meili – The Next Leader of the Saskatchewan NDP!
We're a week away from the Saskatchewan NDP convention and it's hard to believe how far Ryan and his campaign have come in a few short months. From being one of three people all working hard for the second place spot in the minds of voters, I would say that all indications – money raised, […]
Friday Fun Link – A Trailer For "The Road" (May 22, 2009)
I haven't looked this forward to a movie since probably “Batman: Dark Knight” which completely lived up to my expectations plus more. I hope this one does the same – one of the best books I've read (and re-read) in the past year or two.
Maybe Ryan Meili Should Adopt The Nickname "Link" Too?
Here's a two-part video I stumbled across on YouTube about the “Making the Links” program for U of S medical students which takes them to First Nations communities in northern Saskatchewan, rural villages in Mozambique and to the SWITCH (Student Wellness Initiative Toward Community Health) clinic that Ryan Meili co-founded in Saskatoon's inner-city. The “Making […]
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. (See his press […]
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 […]
