In my quest to bring you all the hardest hitting political news, I have to note the somewhat shocking development that Ryan Meili beat noted Sports Cage call-in regular, “Brad from Swift Current” in sending out a timely tweet about the Roughriders’ tough loss today. It took “Brad from Swift Current” TWELVE full minutes before […]
I meant to post this when I first saw it as I thought it was a pretty powerful speech, so unique and different from the usual generic “blah blah” you hear from so many politicians. In it, Ryan Meili talks about the reasons why the general public doesn’t trust politicians. He points out how politicians […]
Ryan Meili announced today that he will once again run for the leadership of the Saskatchewan NDP. He ran in 2009 and essentially came out of nowhere to finish second, taking 45% of the final vote. His slogan was “Our Future Together”. He ran again in 2013 and lost by less than a single percentage […]
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 […]

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. He made a pretty profound observation: It has nothing to do with how “positive” you were or how aggressive […]
I hope everyone had a Happy Family Day (as brought to you by the Sask NDP in 2007…although to be fair, the original and longest-standing Family Day in Canada was brought in by those pro-family, and apparently anti-business, Conservatives in Alberta.) 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 […]
