POLL: How many times do you think Scott Moe and Carla Beck will mention CLIMATE or CLIMATE CHANGE in total during the #skpoli election campaign? (Be honest and realistic!)

Campaign season is upon us. My regular call to #skpoli media, et al: TALK TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE RUN AND WORKED ON CAMPAIGNS to inform your work. And vice versa to my political colleagues. PICK UP THE PHONE AND SHARE YOUR INSIGHTS AND EXPERIENCES. That is all. Thank you.

With (about) a week to go until the start of the #skpoli election, an update on Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ad spending over the past SEVEN (7) DAYS: - CUPE Saskatchewan: $2,829 - Sask Fed of Labour: $2,059 - Saskatchewan Party: $1,910 - Saskatchewan New Democrats Caucus: $1,441 - Saskatchewan United Party: <$100

One thing I'm sure all #skpoli campaigns can agree on: it's nice to do events indoors this election. Because of the pandemic, many events and campaign announcements in 2020 were held outdoors. Brutal! Planners and strategists are happy about this. Saskatchewan Party Saskatchewan New Democrats

This is a GREAT episode of CBC's Blue Sky, featuring actual campaigners & people that have worked on elections!! Well done Samantha Yahoo and Nathaniel, and way to go CBC for setting this up. I will always support something like this! #skpoli cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Further to this, some polling from David Coletto 🇨🇦 and Abacus Data: abacusdata.ca/from-climate-a… "72% of Canadians prioritize immediate issues over climate change, with only 5% placing a greater emphasis on environmental matters."

The first time I shared this was meant to be funny. Now I'm sharing it again to make sure everyone is very clear: there is another Dale Richardson in Saskatchewan who is running for the Buffalo Party, and I'm not that guy. Thank you.

Noticed I was trending. Thought I had passed away. Turns out I’m fine.

1/ So Tim Houston just made history, becoming the first Nova Scotia premier in nearly half a century to increase his majority in a second term. Here's how he did it. 🧵

The reporting and headline writing of a certain news story in Saskatchewan this week is yet another reminder of why the readership and trust in "traditional" media continues to decline day...after day...after day. Merry Christmas.

I want to share that my dog will be voting for Canada’s next Prime Minister. Isn’t that great? Her vote, by the way, is totally for sale.
