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 […]

Of all the hardcore political junkies I know/follow on Twitter/Facebook/elsewhere, I honestly don’t remember anyone picking Moe to win. I would say about 60% picked Chevy, 30% picked Koch (including me) and 10% picked Wyant. True, that might also be because Moe doesn’t seem very memorable in general (I heard him described as “where charisma […]

On #FamilyLiteracyDay, Here’s My Endorsement of @ryanmeili – The Next Leader of @sask_ndp #skpoli #yqr #yxe

In the current Sask NDP leadership race, you’ll see lots of endorsements from many of the high profile people you’d expect to hear from – current and former MPs and MLA’s, grassroots and labour activists, young leaders and lifetime members. I’d like to talk to you from a different perspective – as a working librarian […]

Friday Fun Links – @ryanmeili In Review: A #skndpldr A Decade in the Making? #skpoli

I first got seriously involved with the Sask NDP after Ryan Meili announced as a candidate in the party’s 2009 Leadership contest. For that reason, I thought it might be useful for anyone reading this who is just getting involved with the Sask NDP now because of Ryan (or his opponent or simply because they’re […]

Music Monday – “Here’s where I feel it/Funny how it’s, funny how it’s here/Where I feel it/Funny how it’s, funny how it’s here” #skpoli @ryanmeili

A poll released today showed Ryan Meili has 63% support among decided voters compared to 38% support for Trent Wotherspoon. That means Meili might well be on his way to facing off against Ken Cheveldayoff in a battle of newly elected leaders of Saskatchewan’s two major political parties? (Did you catch the subtle face-off reference?) Of […]

Saturday Snap – “What do you mean, I have to be 13 to have a SaskNDP membership?” #skndpldr #skpoli @ryameili

I hope the angle of the button makes it clear that Sasha put this button on herself, not that her parents forced her to do it! (In fact, the sidelong glance is her eyeing up another one we had lying on our kitchen counter!) 🙂

Friday Fun Link – As The Deadline for #skndpldr Membership Sales Hits, It’s Time For A Throwback @ryanmeili Jam :-)

This post is one part #MusicMonday, one part #ThrowbackThursday and one part #FridayFunLink. But since the deadline for Sask NDP membership sales is only a few minutes away, it’s time for everybody who’s worked so hard over the past few months to relax, unwind, have a cup of herbal tea and enjoy the evening. Then […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – @ryanmeili Embraces Latest in “Poli-Techs” Once Again With Facebook Live Event #skpoli #skndpldr

Since he first ran for the leadership of the Sask NDP nearly a decade ago, Ryan Meili has been incredibly adept at harnessing new technologies to achieve political goals. In 2009, he ran Canada’s first-ever political “money bomb” fundraiser which was a huge success, raising (if memory serves) something like 1/6 of all the money Ryan […]
