As the Democratic National Convention kicks off this week, I’m reminded of the single speech that catapulted Obama into the national spotlight at the 2004 convention.
Coincidentally today, the race for the leadership of the Saskatchewan NDP kicked off.
I’ve written before about the parallels I’ve seen between Barack Obama and Ryan Meili, one of the potential candidates in the #skndpldr race and although perhaps not as rhetorically dynamic as the Obama speech, Meili’s talk at the recent TEDxRegina conference about the connection between health and politics is equally engaging for its groundbreaking call for a new approach to politics and indeed, a new way to seeing the world.
