Round-up from the First Four Days - June 29th

June 29, 2009

As per the tracker in the bottom right of your screen we have so far covered 1474km - and we are just getting started!

Finally having access to a wireless connection for my laptop (from the good people at the Gravelbourg Museum) I'm catching up on some blog posts and e-mails. Since we left Saskatoon early Friday morning we have visited Maple Creek, Cypress Hills Park, Shaunavon, Assinaboia, Thompson Lake Park, and now Gravelbourg. On to Ponteix this afternoon. Pictures and more updates will be coming once we get back up to Saskatoon and North Battleford (respectively) for Canada Day - but it has been a great adventure so far! Read more »

St. Victor Boogie- June 20th, 2009

June 24, 2009

 There is a unique bond that exists between motorcyclists. This is evident almost anywhere- whether it’s waving at each other on the highway, striking up a conversation at gas stations, or slowing down to see if everything is okay if you happen to be pulled over on the side of the road.  Read more »

Round Our Way the Sun Shines Bright

June 17, 2009

As someone who straddles the border between the tech-savvy Generations X and Y, I am very familiar with and take full advantage of instant communication technologies. Through e-mail, texting, IM, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, and feeds to our party website, I can literally communicate with thousands of people across Saskatchewan in a matter of seconds using my Blackberry while waiting in traffic. The power to get our message out easily and efficiently is literally at my fingertips. Read more »

A Liberal Society Needs a Liberal Education

June 4, 2009

Although it is rare for Provincial Leaders to discuss issues in other provinces, a recent development in our neighbor to the west has compelled me to comment- only because there is now speculation that this may blaze a new trail for all of Canada.  I shudder to think of what that would do to Canadian society were that to happen.  Read more »
