1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Well, since Pace was born by caesarean section, this year I got to see my wife give birth (I mean, *really* give birth!) which is the type of thing that, as a husband, makes you less likely to complain about anything ever again! […]
As I continue the transition from a blog that was “all politics, all the time” for much of the last six months to one that’s back to being a bit more balanced between the posts about libraries, technology, family and yes, still the occasional political post, I thought I’d start by resurrecting one of my […]
For some reason, the campaign didn’t want to use that “putting the hospital in “hospitality” line” for their invitations and instead went with something classy and dignified as befitting the next leader of the Saskatchewan NDP. Can you imagine? Anyhow, if you’re in Saskatoon for convention, why not stop by Ryan’s hospitality suite (and those […]
No word on who Chewy is supporting…
Hard to believe it’s less than a week until the Leadership Convention! I was chatting with someone over the weekend about how the party might build unity once the race is over, no matter who wins.

So what other topic is there to discuss today except what impact the candidates’ […]
With the release of the January financials on Friday, I need to update the chart I posted on Thursday to create a snapshot of a different kind than I usually post. Ryan Meili’s team is consistently proving in this Leadership Race that they can provide exactly what the NDP needs at this point in time […]
In 2009, when I did a list of the 10 Reasons I was supporting Ryan Meili, my #1 was “His Potential as a Transformative Leader for the Province“. I briefly considered making that my #1 choice again as I still firmly believe that Ryan, not only has that potential but is three years further along […]
(Image From Alice Funke, Pundits Guide) There are probably still people who think that Ryan’s 2009 run was a fluke. Sure, he came out of nowhere to finish second to one of the most experienced politicians of the last 30 years while beating out a sitting MLA and a former party President. But really, they […]
