As previously mentioned, we went to Indian Head to celebrate my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary last weekend. As part of the trip down memory lane, we ended up watching some old home movies one night. My dad regularly filmed holidays and parties and family gatherings with an 8mm camera when we were kids so, when […]
With at least eight ridings still to be decided, I’ll likely do a longer post with some thoughts on the Sask Election once the mail-in ballots are counted and we know what the final count is. But after a conversation on Twitter with a former high school classmate who felt the BC election didn’t represent […]
“You Look To Yours” – Colter Wall
Maybe I should’ve posted this earlier since a lot of people (including Shea and I) have already voted by mail or in the early polls. But with the bulk of the votes still to come tomorrow and the polls showing a tightening race, I figured I’d do one last post about the current provincial election […]
I attended a presentation at RPL about the history of American elections just prior to the 2016 US election. It was a great presentation but I’ll always remember the Q&A at the end – someone asked “Who do you think will win?” and the presenter looked out, half chuckled (as did most of us in […]

On a completely unrelated fashion note, I thought Shea’s orange mask was […]
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 […]
A few hot takes as I watched the debate… Does Molly Thomas still live in Sask? If not, weird optics to fly in a debate moderator from out-of-province during a pandemic. Moe looks very nervous right out of the gate, not what I expected from the Premier and frontrunner. Drink! Moe says NDP has record […]
I haven’t been writing a lot about politics lately but wanted to note a few thoughts as the Saskatchewan provincial campaign is about halfway done and the leaders of the two main parties will have their only debate tomorrow night. There’s still a large gap but some encouraging news in a poll today that shows […]
