Killed two birds with one stone today – coming down to Weyburn for the latest #skndpldr debate and also getting to spend the night with Shea’s folks. Shea and I got to work Ryan’s table at the debate and, as usual, I’ve got a lot of random thoughts from the day… – I’ve been to […]
In 2009, I did a series of ten posts listing the reasons I was supporting Ryan Meili for the Leader of the Sask NDP. I’m pretty sure I could come up with ten different and equally viable reasons this time around. In fact, depending on how much time I have, I may very well do […]
Haven’t done one of these “5 Quick Hits” posts in awhile… Hockey I didn’t miss the NHL when it was locked out but I can honestly say that today was the first day I felt like coming home from work, popping open a beer and settling in to watch a game. Luckily that will be […]
I don’t know if Ryan Meili will win the Saskatchewan NDP leadership race. But as one of his supporters told me recently, we’re not not just leading in fundraising, we’re leading in “fun” raising and “friend” raising. And win or lose, that’s the kind of campaign I’m proud to be a part of and the […]
Trent Wotherspoon got the endorsement of a trio Manitoba MLA’s today, Cam Broten posted one from a retired Director of Education and Ryan Meili got what could be described as quasi-endorsements from high-profile NDP MP’s Libby Davies (Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Health Critic) and Niki Ashton (Critic for Women’s Issues) in an e-mail blast to […]
1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Saw a photo of the brain of someone I know! Shea’s nephew has had a variety of health issues for the past five years including numerous seizures. This year, he was taken to Vancouver for some operations to address these, as yet, undiagnosed […]

The Centre of the Arts is running a “12 Tickets of Christmas” series on FB for free concert tickets each day. The other day they asked people to submit the location of the best Christmas lights they’d seen in Regina to enter that day’s draw. Later that day, I also came across this on Twitter – […]
At the start of the #skndpldr race, there was a bit of attention when one candidate (I think it was Erin Weir?) proposed that if elected leader, he would work to ban corporate and union donations from the political process (although also declining to follow this guideline for the Sask NDP leadership race pointing out […]
The #skndpldr contest kicked off in September and ends in March which means that early-to-mid-December is basically the halfway point of the campaign for all of them. Since I’m big on celebrating milestones, I thought I’d take a moment to recognize some of the funniest, most memorable surprising and appreciated moments each has had so […]
This is probably not a great thing to admit to while not only doing a lot of writing about but also heavily volunteering for one of four NDP leadership candidates here in Saskatchewan. But I have to admit that if I still lived in Calgary Centre, I’m fairly certain I’d be voting for the Green […]
