Rule 12 is a good rule and you're dumb for not wanting to pet all the cats. poo poo, I'll stop personal speed record attempts on Strava segments if I spot a cat that needs pets.  That cat was super happy for all the pets. Also, you don't get rabies from petting cats on the street you get rabies for petting puppies at the flea market. Both my wife and I had to get rabies shots because we were both petting those puppies and both had enough cuts on our hands from stuff that it was a risk. Fortunately they don't have to go in the abdomen anymore. I got one in my rear end and then two in my arm once a week for a month. It's a shame because those puppies were cute AF.

Stickarts posted:The NDP are having their leadership campaign in Saskatchewan right now. So here's your update I guess. Election is in early March. Part of the reason for weak performance of Saskatchewan NDP in exile was that they had not reversed course on the austerity measures they implemented in the 90s. I can understand why the austerity was necessary, if you do not control your own currency and people will only lend you money if you cut social programs then I guess that is what you need to do to keep the lights on. They were also in a minority government after the situation was stabilized so there was some hand tying there as well. But they had 4 years of majority government between 2003 and 2007 and they did not do much with it. They were going to start moving on a senior pharmacare program and everyone in the trial was in love with it but they moved to slow. Finally, there time in government included many MLAs that might not belong in a social democratic party. For example Janice McKinnon was minister of social services. Chewed threw deputy ministers and pissed off community groups. She was also in the finance ministry. After working there she worked at the Canada West Foundation and has written pieces for the Fraser institute talking about introducing more of the private sector to health care. Trent is a fine person personally, I would wonder though, would he and his team actually reverse the changes that the Sask Party has made to the province. His team have said that we need to be centerist as that is were the votes are. In addition, the current party likes him a lot, and I would worry that the criticisms like this one https://twitter.com/Sask_NDP/status/955506317296205824, effectivily saying, do not raise the PST because it is bad for small businesses would be the name of the game.

They were going to start moving on a senior pharmacare program and everyone in the trial was in love with it but they moved to slow. Thanks for this. I have reservations about the internal party apparatus of the provincial NDP and their leftist bonafides, which leads to inevitable skepticism with the establishment choice. As you allude to, my skepticism is reduced a bit knowing how much Trent has put the hours and effort in for years. The level of rhetoric that the NDP is using when it comes to reversing course on Sask Party policy... there would be some serious backlash if they didn’t follow through. I am dissatisfied in general by the attention paid to fiscal strategies this campaign. I know pricing out your platform doesn’t typically happen in a leadership race but I still can’t find any serious discussion of how they propose to pay for it, and I’m someone who is supportive of intelligent tax increases. Income tax? Corporate tax? Could I get some hard numbers pricing out Meili’s pharmacare and the start up cost and how long it’s gonna take for generic drug production to start paying for itself? Though lol I guess at the thought of the NDP spelling out in gory detail their necessary tax increases for news media and Sask Party politicians to wail and gnash their teeth over. I know that Meili is killing it with donations and recruits. I’m just nervous about the battle this next election will be. The Saskies aren’t going to go quietly. They are building a war chest, and they’re obviously angling to pin any voter discontent on former glorious leader Wall and keep their new leader clean. Organized voter turnout efforts will be huge. So do you vote for the 10+ year vet politician with tendrils in every community or the outsider trying to build a wave? I don’t know. I also have that concern with Meili connecting with voters outside of Regina and Saskatoon, and there’s no victory without at least 5-10 seats outside those two cities. How much do you give up deep rural areas as lost and how much do you try to flip them? I still can’t help but lean toward supporting the bolder vision - which is Meili’s to be sure. Big ideas build their own momentum and the left needs to learn that lesson. Stickarts fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Jan 24, 2018 |

I think that being successful on the left is doing as much in your 2 ish terms of office as possible. Things that benefit a lot of people will create their own constituencies that can defend them from attack. Major crown corporations and libraries were the two major recent examples in Saskatchewan. The big problem for the NDP in Saskatchewan right now, the coalition of the Sask Party/ They are a coalition against the NDP of liberals and conservatives like the BC libs and as long as the commodity money was flowing they never need to make a hard decision that could split that coalition. If the Sask Party own goals itself into a 16 year political exile like the previous Saskatchewan government than it does not really matter who wins as far as electability goes, the bums will be kicked out. The potential problem seems to be that if the coalition between the liberals and business cons is reformed. I think politics is inherently messy and I need to use mental models and short cuts to be able to make sense of it. If I think about the political shortcut politics is coalitions of interest groups working together then the current NDP Sask Party balance is loving bad for the NDP. Sask Party coalition of rural identity, business interests and suburban professionals was very strong. The NDP was really only strongly supported by some labour unions. The party did not really deliver for social movements before and had mostly told them to put up and shut up. The reason I think the reason that Meili is helpful is that the new recruits and enthusiam bring the hope of changing the baseline coalition status quo. Without some shakeup to that baseline as soon as the Saskparty have a halfway decent act the NDP is in trouble.

For those of you who work at Indigo, just FYI, the Kobo Writing Life platform which lets authors upload their books to your site, is run by the biggest loving morons I have ever met in the publishing industry and this is an industry where Amazon is one of the biggest players. Seriously, I once asked to have the promotions tab enabled on my account and they disabled my entire loving account and then went "oh oops don't know why that happened". edit: this isn't me telling you to fix anything or complaining or whatever, I've long since accepted the Kobo incompetence, it's more just I figured you might find it funny HookShot fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Jan 24, 2018 |

Meili's ability to engage and energise first time voters might be the way to beat back the Sask Party big tent anyway. I question how many people are left in the province (or how many there ever were in the first place) who you could reasonably expect to flip from voting for the cons to voting for the NDP. Relying on people to vote orange who think the only issue with the Colten Boushie shooting is that there weren't enough deaths seems... like a bad idea. Also, in doing a little more digging I found an article penned by noted poo poo bird John Gormley wherein he decries Meili for being too left-wing/commie socialist. Which is all the endorsement I need to make up my mind to vote for Meili. If Gormley hates something, chances are it is actually Quite Good.

Also, a half-assed Colten Boushie shooting update: Some time ago, the RCMP investigated itself and cleared itself of any wrongdoing (whew!) in their handling of the case. My favourite bit of RCMP bungling, for those who don't recall: Boushie was sitting in the middle of the back seat of a vehicle when Gerald Stanley shot him in the back of the head through the read window. It seems to me that such a vehicle might be an important piece of evidence to any investigation, what with being the scene of a murder and all. So, did the RCMP put it in their impound lot, or otherwise take some steps to safeguard it? Nah, it wintered in the parking lot of the tow company that towed it from the Stanley farm.  Anyway, the trial for Gerald Stanley starts next week, so I assume there will be some steaming hot takes on race relations popping up again soon enough. Can't wait!
