Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NDP Means A Healthy Society (February 2013) #skpoli #skvotes

This is a very cool poster that Ryan Meili’s team created during his 2013 leadership run. The design may be retro but the message is more timely than ever as Saskatchewan and the entire world try to figure out the best way forward in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. I don’t know about you […]

Saturday Snap – A Virtual Birthday Card For Grandpa

Coronavirus is affecting us in ways big and small but one of the worst things is not being able to see the people you love in person anymore. So me and the kids threw together a “Virtual Birthday Card’ for Grandpa Ray as a placeholder until we get to see him in person! […]

Saturday Snap – The (Nightmare) When You’re Back in High School #cndpoli #elxn43

It’s referring to the high school he attended, not the private school he taught at. But the title of the prologue in a recent biography published about Justin Trudeau with his participation is pretty ironic given the recent brownface scandal that broke when a picture of Trudeau wearing makeup to look like Aladdin during an […]

An Early Contender For My Favourite Book of the Year? @thejagmeetsingh #canpoli #cndpoli

I read Jagmeet Singh’s autobiography in pretty much a single sitting at our campsite this weekend and really enjoyed it. Obviously I’m a fan of Singh but I think this book would be one that anyone who enjoys memoirs would enjoy and learn from, whether they liked the NDP or not. * before it was […]

10 Thoughts From The @sask_ndp #yqr Coronation Park Nomination Meeting #skpoli

Shea and I went to the Sask NDP’s Coronation Park Nomination Meeting tonight and it was wilder than we ever expected – over 400 rowdy people crammed into Thom Collegiate’s auditorium to hear from three candidates – April Bourgeois, Noor Burki, and Chris Gust – and choose the person who will represent our home constituency […]

Some Thoughts on the Changing Nature of Intellectual Freedom In Librarianship (Maybe?), The “Neutrality” Thing, and How I Sometimes Feel Like My Grandpa Missing The Boat on Elvis

So I recently got tagged on Twitter by a librarian colleague in Saskatoon (who is both a Mover and a Shaker!) asking if I (and a few other online librarian-types) had any thoughts on the changing view of intellectual freedom within the profession, especially in light of wider changes in society which I took to […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “We’ve Woken Up This Party!” @ryanmeili 2013 Video #skndpldr #skpoli

This is a video I made in the lead-up to the 2013 Sask NDP Leadership Vote. And honestly, do I detect an echo? So many of the things that Ryan led in during in the last leadership race are areas where he’s once again leading in – fundraising, “fun”raising, engaging members, online engagement, etc. etc. etc. […]

Do You Vote For The Crest on The Front or the Name on The Back? A Direct Appeal To @sask_NDP Members Filling Out Their #skndpldr Ballots #skpoli

(The original FB thread has been deleted but I’m posting this with the author’s permission.) This post is ridiculously long so here’s the TL;DR version: Although there is a wide spectrum of engagement by all Sask NDP members, it generally divides between those who are very engaged and those who are less engaged.
