I recently had the chance to interview Dr. Ryan Meili, author of “A Healthy Society: How A Focus on Health Can Revive Canadian Democracy“. After some back and forth discussion, we decided that the best way to do this would be for me to prepare a few questions then send them by e-mail so he […]
A promo from local CTV affiliate, CKCK in the year of my birth…
So I was one of the lucky 100 who got to attend TedXRegina on Wednesday at the ShuBox Theatre at the U of R. Here are some random thoughts about the day… – never realised until the night before while checking out the #tedxregina hashtag on Twitter that there were only 100 seats available as […]
I went to the massive rally by the Saskatchewan film industry at noon today and it was quite the spectacle. In Saskatchewan, when we have protests, it tends to be farmers rolling their tractors up to the Legislature that creates a big scene.

When we say “renewables”, most people think of things […]
Well, based on how slow it’s been lately, either my computer’s dying or I have too many tabs open. Let’s hope it’s the latter as that’s easily solved! Super excited to see Ryan Meili’s name pop up as a strong “definitely maybe” in a recent list of potential NDP leadership candidates, especially since, as the […]
So we’ve got about ten days until the NDP picks a new leader and after watching the race develop since day one, I’ve pretty much made up my mind that I’ll be putting Nathan Cullen first on my ballot. If you go back to my initial (public) rankings a month ago, I had Nathan second […]
