I’m spending my weekend as a delegate at the provincial NDP convention and it’s a bit different experience than my first time attending which was the leadership race a couple years ago. This year’s a bit more subdued compared to that exciting time of course. But this year’s convention is equally intriguing for other reasons, […]
I’m at the NDP convention this weekend and one fun thing they did is release a YouTube playlist of all the candidate’s favourite songs. Reflecting the diversity of the party, there’s classics and country and indie and metal and dance. If you can’t be at the after parties, it’s the next best thing! One other […]
There are numerous ongoing examples of governments and political institutions preventing the sharing of information – often in the name of “security” but often, more accurately, in the name of “not being embarrassed”.

Patrons (and staff) can now easily get books from any public library system in the province. Especially for smaller systems with fewer […]
Went to the first annual Noche Latina fundraiser for Jaime Garcia, NDP candidate in Regina-Coronation Park tonight and it was a total blast – great music, awesome entertainment and unbelievable food, all shared with old and new friends! (Shea’s highlight was the coconut shrimp ceviche, mine was the homemade Mexican chocolate ice cream – my […]
