Hard to believe it’s only been a week since the worst mass shooting in modern US history. So many stories, speculations and even songs coming out over the past week.

Any shot of a person rubbing their forehead could be taken out of context. But when it’s a photo of the White House Chief of Staff face palming with his watch clearly visible (ENHANCE!) while the President is going off script threatening to annihilate North Korea, you know the Internet’s going to be on the […]

My #ndpldr Ballot (Along With Some Random Thoughts)

At different points in the NDP Leadership race, I’ve been able to see each of Charlie Angus, Guy Caron and Jagmeet Singh as my top choice based on their policies or other attributes. A lot of my Sask NDP friends (IRL and FB) are big supporters of Niki Ashton. But, though I do like what […]
