Saturday Snap – Awesome @officialRPL Display @rqhealth North Office #ReadersAreLeaders #BabiesNeedBooks #yqr

I popped by Sask Health Authority – RQHR’s North Public Health Office (uhm, there are probably about three things wrong in trying to capture the current name of their office in that list!) the other day to drop off a couple literacy posters and was very happy to see they had an excellent display of […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “We’ve Woken Up This Party!” @ryanmeili 2013 Video #skndpldr #skpoli

This is a video I made in the lead-up to the 2013 Sask NDP Leadership Vote. And honestly, do I detect an echo? So many of the things that Ryan led in during in the last leadership race are areas where he’s once again leading in – fundraising, “fun”raising, engaging members, online engagement, etc. etc. etc. […]

Unbroken: The Snowboard Life of Mark McMorris

As the big air competition begins in the Olympics tonight, this is a pretty amazing documentary. Fun friend-of-a-friend name-dropping trivia: The filmmaker is Mark McMorris’ manager who is married to a girl that I used to babysit. My parents even attended their wedding but my invitation got lost in the mail. 😉

Music Monday – “In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel/To show that all’s equal and that the courts are on the level/And that the strings in the books ain’t pulled and persuaded/And that even the nobles get properly handled/Once that the cops have chased after and caught ’em/And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom”

This is a song about a farmer who was convicted of manslaughter after accidentally killing someone. “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” – Bob Dylan

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – @ryanmeili TEDxRegina Talk (May 2012) #skpoli #skndpldr

If you’re new to the NDP and/or legitimately trying to decide who’s the best choice for Leader out of Ryan Meili and Trent Wotherspoon, the TED Talk that Ryan gave at the University of Regina in 2012 is probably the quickest and easiest way to get a sense of who Ryan is, what he stands […]
