Weyburn Flash Mob

When I worked for Southeast Regional Library, the local Co-op grocery store was a couple blocks away. I stopped in regularly – for groceries on the way home or to pick up the occasional treats for our afternoon coffee breaks.  I was also there fairly regularly because Southeast policy was that you had to return […]

Bright Futures Indeed!

Earlier today, Shea, Pace and I went to the grand opening of the joint campaign office for three of the NDP candidates in next month’s provincial election – Jaime Garcia, Warren McCall and Trent Wotherspoon.   Jaime’s the new guy on the block, replacing retiring MLA Kim Trew, so he arguably has the toughest battle […]
