Friday Fun Link – Major Winter Storm to Hit Southwestern Saskatchewan on Sunday November 8, 2020

 

Reviewing Ryan #skpoli #skvotes

Okay, a week has passed, most of the races potentially impacted by mail-in ballots have been decided, and since we just celebrated Halloween, what better time to assess a very scary election result for the NDP? I was going to do a more general post with my random election thoughts but since at least four […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 10 Horrifying Things I Saw Watching Family Home Movies From the 1970’s

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 […]

What If Saskatchewan Had Proportional Representation? #skpoli #skvotes

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 […]

10 Reasons The Sask Party Doesn’t Deserve Another Mandate #skpoli #skvotes

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 […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The American Election: Controversy, Campaigns and Complexity (November 2016)

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 […]

Voted! (And a Good Omen For An Orange Wave?) #skpoli #skvotes

Legally, I don’t think you can display campaign materials or actively campaign at a polling station. But when we went to vote tonight, I thought it was a good omen to see a wall of orange chairs as we exited our polling place! On a completely unrelated fashion note, I thought Shea’s orange mask was […]

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 […]

(Not Quite) Live Blogging The #skvotes Leader’s Debate #skpoli

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 […]
