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 […]

10 Thoughts on The Eve of #skpoli Debate

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 […]

Saturday Snap – Not Scary at All!

Saturday Snap – Divided Family?

‘Tis the time of year when lawn signs spring from the ground for the provincial, municipal and school board elections (why are school boards elected but not library boards?  Topic for a different post I think!) Anyhew, had a chuckle when a neighbour noticed our signs – one clearly for the NDP but the municipal […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Katepwa Lake (August 2011)

Music Monday – “I got 500 dollars in cash in case they don’t take AMEX/She wanted to see me so now I’m headed to/The Annex Sorority house, she snuck me in, she tried to/Keep quiet, couldn’t hold it in”

Pretty cool that a U of R grad has hit the top of the BBC Asian music charts and gone viral on TikTok with this song… “Young Shahrukh” – Tesher

Music Monday – “Four years old/Riding that new bike/No training wheels/Holding on real tight/Oh baby/Everyone falls”

Not sure what it means when you’re getting music recommendations from your mother-in-law but that’s how I first heard of this singer who also happens to be an RN that my mother-in-law worked with prior to her retirement. Also important to note that this video has some scenes shot at Nickle Lake Regional Park where […]
