Random Thoughts
- I can’t describe to you how cold it is today. When I went outside to go to work today, all I heard was the sound of cars that couldn’t start. I froze my cheeks walking across 19th Street from our parking lot at the Centre to the front door. It took probably 30 seconds to walk that far. As for the guys who stay at the shelter and have no place to go, they get to stay inside all day. Some are watching television, some help clean. I did have a conversation today with one guy who stays here and we both came to the conclusion that those burning barrels you always see homeless warming up to in movies wouldn’t make much of an impact today. Being this cold means that I did a lot interviews about the cold and the shelter with the media today. One reporter that I know phoned up and said, “I am doing the same story we did the last time it got really cold” which made me laugh.
- David Brooks seems to sum up what I think is wrong with the Hillary Clinton campaign :: Last week there was the widespread revulsion at the Clintons’ toxic attempts to ghettoize Barack Obama. In private and occasionally in public, leading Democrats lost patience with the hyperpartisan style of politics — the distortion of facts, the demonizing of foes, the secret admiration for brass-knuckle brawling and the ever-present assumption that it’s necessary to pollute the public sphere to win. All the suppressed suspicions of Clintonian narcissism came back to the fore. Are these people really serving the larger cause of the Democratic Party, or are they using the party as a vehicle for themselves? :: Here is a bit of the backstory for the article.
- This is a little disconcerting. An Air Canada pilot has a breakdown on a flight and has to be restrained by crew and passengers. Luckily everyone was alright and the pilot is in a mental hospital in Ireland.
- This is a long shot but could you imagine the scene in Boston if the NEW YORK Giants defeat the undefeated New England Pariots in the Super Bowl? How would a city that already suffers from a giant inferiority complex handle it if it’s one chance at history was lost because of a mediocre New York team became a team of destiny and not them.
- As a Toronto Raptors fan it is always nice to read that Vince Carter is destroying the chemistry of yet another team. So much talent, so little competitiveness.
- Some have asked about the Youth Safe House idea and who was involved. It’s at an odd stage right now because of how complicated it is and how many departments are involved in projects like this. My initial proposal for it was called a “pre-proposal” which later seemed too far along so I called a “pre-pre-proposal” which later I have to call it a “pre-history of a proposal”. Basically right now it is just inviting a lot of different people to explore an idea and if it works, it works.
- Of course when it is this cold out, there is nothing better than finding someplace warm and putting in a baseball game in the PSP and dreaming about baseball starting soon. While you are dreaming about baseball, here are 23 odd rules about the game.
2008’s First Blizzard
Last night a blizzard rolled into town according to Environment Canada
Blizzard conditions persisting over western areas this morning and should gradually taper off by afternoon. Blizzard conditions expected to develop over eastern areas this morning and then taper off this evening.
An intense low pressure system over western North Dakota this morning will track northeastward into northwestern Ontario by Tuesday morning. This system has generated 5 to 10 cm of snow across western Saskatchewan during the night and this snow continues to spread to the northeast. Strong northerly winds on the back side of this system have been gusting over 60 km/h at times and combined with the falling snow, blizzard conditions have been widespread across western and central areas of the province during the night. Southeastern areas will escape much of the snow, so blizzard conditions are less likely but there is still some snow developing over Montana that may move into southeastern Saskatchewan later today. The winds will definately pick up over the eastern later today and thus the potential for blizzard conditions is still there for later today and this evening. Blizzard conditions should ease off over western areas near noon. The strong northerly winds are ushering in a frigid Arctic airmass and wind chill values will be in the minus 40 to minus 45 range today through Tuesday. Temperatures will fall dramatically today over southeastern areas as this Arctic airmass sweeps in so extreme wind chills are expected there later today and last into Tuesday.
Wow, there is absolutely nothing in that paragraph that makes me want to go out today or tomorrow. It isn’t as bad as last year’s “blizzard of the century” but not a nice day either.
Billary
The New York Times today is all over Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the Democratic nomination. They mostly involve Bill’s involvement and what that means.
Here are the highlights.
From Bob Hebert
Bill Clinton, in his over-the-top advocacy of his wife’s candidacy, has at times sounded like a man who’s gone off his medication. And some of the Clinton surrogates have been flat-out reprehensible.
Andrew Young, for instance.
This week, while making the remarkable accusation that the Obama camp was responsible for raising the race issue, Mr. Clinton mentioned Andrew Young as someone who would bear that out. It was an extremely unfortunate reference.
Here’s what Mr. Young, who is black and a former ambassador to the United Nations, had to say last month in an interview posted online: “Bill is every bit as black as Barack. He’s probably gone with more black women than Barack.”
He then went on to make disgusting comments about the way that Bill and Hillary Clinton defended themselves years ago against the fallout from the former president’s womanizing. That’s coming from the Clinton camp!
And then there was Bob Kerrey, the former senator and another Clinton supporter, who slimed up the campaign with the following comments:
“It’s probably not something that appeals to him, but I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim. There’s a billion people on the planet that are Muslims, and I think that experience is a big deal.”
Pressing the point, Mr. Kerrey told CNN’s John King: “I’ve watched the blogs try to say that you can’t trust him because he spent a little bit of time in a secular madrassa. I feel quite the opposite.”
Get it?
Let’s start with the fact that Mr. Obama never attended a madrassa, and that there is no such thing as a secular madrassa. A madrassa is a religious school. Beyond that, the idea is to not-so-slyly feed the current frenzy, on the Internet and elsewhere, that Senator Obama is a Muslim, and thus potentially (in the eyes of many voters) an enemy of the United States.
Mr. Obama is not a Muslim. He’s a Christian. And if he were a Muslim, it would not be a legitimate reason for attacking his candidacy.
Frank Rich just thinks it will lead to a John McCain victory
Not all Republicans are smart enough, however, to recognize the value of John McCain should Mrs. Clinton emerge as the nominee. He’s a bazooka aimed at most every rationale she’s offered for her candidacy.
In a McCain vs. Billary race, the Democrats will sacrifice the most highly desired commodity by the entire electorate, change; the party will be mired in déjà 1990s all over again. Mrs. Clinton’s spiel about being “tested” by her “35 years of experience” won’t fly either. The moment she attempts it, Mr. McCain will run an ad about how he was being tested when those 35 years began, in 1973. It was that spring when he emerged from five-plus years of incarceration at the Hanoi Hilton while Billary was still bivouacked at Yale Law School. And can Mrs. Clinton presume to sell herself as best equipped to be commander in chief “on Day One” when opposing an actual commander and war hero? I don’t think so.
Senator Hillary Clinton has based her campaign on experience — 35 years of it by her count. That must include her eight years in the White House.
Some may debate whether those years count as executive experience. But there can be no doubt that her husband had the presidential experience, fully. He has shown during his wife’s campaign that he is a person of initiative and energy. Does anyone expect him not to use his experience in an energetic way if he re-enters the White House as the first spouse?
Mrs. Clinton claims that her time in that role was an active one. He can hardly be expected to show less involvement when he returns to the scene of his time in power as the resident expert. He is not the kind to be a potted plant in the White House.
Which raises an important matter. Do we really want a plural presidency?
Speaking of past Presidents, Caroline Kennedy endorses Barack Obama in the NY Times today as well.
Senator Obama is running a dignified and honest campaign. He has spoken eloquently about the role of faith in his life, and opened a window into his character in two compelling books. And when it comes to judgment, Barack Obama made the right call on the most important issue of our time by opposing the war in Iraq from the beginning.
I want a president who understands that his responsibility is to articulate a vision and encourage others to achieve it; who holds himself, and those around him, to the highest ethical standards; who appeals to the hopes of those who still believe in the American Dream, and those around the world who still believe in the American ideal; and who can lift our spirits, and make us believe again that our country needs every one of us to get involved.
I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.
"When we see the budget"
Say whatever you want about American politicians but I think one area that Canadian political leaders have them beat is our ability to mock ourselves. This video comes to you via The Hour and is a wonderful mockery of Stephane Dion’s answer to the question of “When are you going to force an election?”.
While I can’t find it on YouTube, I think the best of all time may be Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s “Power Lunch” with Rick Mercer at Harveys in the lead up to the budget.
While Clinton did make that one funny video of himself eight years ago, which was well received, I haven’t seen anyone else do a good job of making fun of themselves in Washington.
Huskies down the Golden Bears
Saturday night Wendy, Mark, and I headed to the PAC to watch the University of Saskatchewan Huskies defeat the University of Alberta Golden Bears 74-52.
The game wasn’t that great to watch. The Huskies jumped to a 10 point first quarter lead and then extended it to 25 by the fourth when the reserves were subbed in on mass.
Alberta began to play physically in the second half but the Huskies were making their free throws and it just created a lot of easy baskets.
Two weeks from now the plan is to head back to the PAC watch the Huskies host the University of Calgary Dinosaurs for the season finale. Depending on how the cookie crumbles, we may be able to take in a playoff game or two.

On the Take
Warren Kinsella has posted about this but all of it sounds a little familiar. Unless I am missing something, much of this was talked about in Stevie Cameron’s (whose website was just hacked) book On The Take and the money came from the PC Canada Fund.
While the optics of bag loads of cash being delivered to 24 Sussex Drive is pretty horrible, is it wrong for a party to willingly decide to supplement the salary of it’s party leader? This would be more interesting to me if there was evidence that people were donating to the PC Canada Fund knew it was being redirected to the Prime Minister and his wife AND those people had business dealings with the government. Now I think that would be interesting. I don’t know what information Norman Spector has but I can’t see anything new coming out that hasn’t been written about before.
From the Toronto Star
Spector, chief of staff to Mulroney in the early 1990s, wrote about the payments in a forward to Toronto lawyer and author William Kaplan’s book about Mulroney’s relationship with Schreiber.
He describes Mulroney’s networking with wealthy and powerful people. He writes also of Mila Mulroney’s “expensive lifestyle.”
“Mulroney was not a rich man. Party funds were being drawn, and one of our staff was assigned to pore through personal expenses to determine if some might be reimbursed. Every month I cashed a cheque at a local bank and remitted the funds to Mila,” Spector wrote.
A spokesperson for Mulroney downplayed Spector’s talk of the cash deliveries.
“There’s nothing new in these allegations,” Joseph Lavoie said yesterday.
The committee also expects to hear from François Martin, Mulroney’s former chef, who has told of transporting thick envelopes of cash for the family.
In Stevie Cameron’s 1994 On the Take, Martin tells of visiting Mulroney aide Fred Doucet in the Prime Minister’s Office to pick up thick envelopes of cash and deliver them to Mila Mulroney.
“Cash came in like it was falling from the sky,” he said in the book.
While the allegations may date back years, they provide fresh fodder for opposition MPs who are already seeking answers about the cash payments Mulroney received from Schreiber after he left office.
Of course if MP’s read a little more history, this would be old news.
What’s New Around Here?
A couple of weeks ago I posted about The Blind Side which generated some good discussion in the comments. What caught me off guard were a couple of e-mails that were sent about the post and the hypocrisy in me posting it and advocating the position that I did. Apparently because I haven’t raised any NFL prospects in my house, I ought not speak of such things. Even if that made sense, it is ignorant of the fact that Wendy and I have had someone living in our home for a couple of years after a particularly brutal time in their life. While I never did get a NFL tryout for him or even a scholarship to a major U.S. college, it has been a big change for all of us. It also suggests that perhaps a blog doesn’t tell everything about a person or maybe a search of the archives may be helpful.
The accusations also got to me because one of the things that I have been working on/obsessed with is setting up a safe house for 10 or so teen boys in Saskatoon who need a place to figure out life. We have some emergency facilities at work for keeping youth on an emergency basis. While we are doubling that capacity, it isn’t enough and there are youth who are either on the street or in really awful home situations. It is a complicated and long process which is a ways away an official start let alone finish but I think it is the right thing to do.
While speaking of work, I have some interesting stuff going on right now that will help guys with the transition out of the shelter and into their own place. Saskatoon has a tighter housing market than New York, Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary at 0.4% and if you aren’t making much money, are illiterate, or just feeling overwhelmed, guys tend to end up at flophouses which are called, “shooting galleries” for a reason. I have been in some of them and I almost threw up. My first apartment was a small studio apartment but it was a charming shoe box sized studio and was safe to roam the hallways. The goal is to help guys find safe places they can afford to live on. Having a little extra money in the bank makes a world of difference. I was reading an article from the New Year with the mayor who pointed out that people making $40,000 can’t afford a home in the city which is true. I can’t fix that but I hope to help those making around $20,000 a year a decent apartment.
Outside of work, a group of us is taking some small steps toward create an alternative seminary in Saskatoon. We met Monday and those there had some excellent ideas. It was good. For those of you who have no idea what is so alternative about theological education, check out the Disseminary which was the inspiration for the idea as was the Invisible College in Kingston.
So now you know.
Canadian Blog Award Finalist
I am a finalist again this year for the Canadian Blog Awards. In the past I never mentioned it but if you would like to vote for the best Canadian religious blog, here is the link. All of the blogs listed there are worthy so you can’t really go wrong. Other favorites nominated are James Bow, Calgary Grit, and Daveberta.
The War Room | Lesson Four: Get Your Message Out (For Money!)
Okay, back to the War Room. Lesson Four is why and how you need to get your money out with paid media. It’s an interesting chapter if you are a fan of political history and offers the background into how political advertising evolved over time.
Kinsella talks about Daisy, perhaps my favorite part of Kicking Ass in Canadian Politics. Of course the important lesson from Daisy is not that you need to convince your opponent that he or she will lead us to nuclear war but rather that advertising can reinforce an idea that is already in voters mind about your opponent. If you have never seen Daisy, it is embedded there to the right. This started me thinking about two recent negative campaigns across the country.
The first one is the Conservative Party’s Not a Leader campaign directed at Stephane Dion. Several pundits have said that this has hurt Stephane Dion and has allowed him to be framed by the Conservatives. While I saw the commercials and thought they were well done, I didn’t think that they were that accurate. In the Chretien cabinets I thought Dion was quite effective. The timing was brilliant in that he had just won a hard fought leadership campaign and the party was divided. Capitalizing on the internal dissension which is a normal part of politics, the Conservatives used the opportunity to attack and used the words of his own leadership rival and Dion’s words against him. The Liberals either facing a shortage of cash or didn’t have an operating war room to strike back quickly didn’t follow James Carville’s rule and didn’t hit back and now many think that the charges laid by those ads has stuck. They did run their own ad several weeks later but by that time, “Not a leader” had done it’s job.
The second campaign I keep thinking back to the recent Saskatchewan election and the NDP Wolf is sheep’s clothing advertising campaign. While the ads were hard hitting, they had no impact on the election or the polls and even NDP members I knew didn’t care for them. People didn’t believe that Brad Wall was like Grant Devine and b) we couldn’t figure out why it was necessary to bad mouth Alberta all of the time. The other thing is that the Saskatchewan Party did hit back with a pretty good ad of their own. Their counterattack ad which came out soon after the NDP spot aired did got in a shot of their own that did articulate what many people in Saskatchewan thought. Again, even die hard NDP commented to me that they thought the spot was excellent.
Both of those examples feature negative ads which makes sense because as Kinsella points out on page 123, negative ads work.
There are two reasons for this. First, television is an emotional medium, and emotional messages work best with voters. “With too much information around,” the professors wrote, “our senses are overloaded and advertisers have turned away from information imparting ads to an approach that ‘goes for the gut,’ appealing to core values… Negative ads are crafted in the best dramatic tradition: they contain characterization (implicit or explicit), plot and conflict.” Second, they wrote, negative ads work because they are negative. “Simply put, negative information is more powerful in crystallizing decisions than positive information. In politics, it is said, ‘mud sticks’ and negative ads are the way in which seeds of doubt about an opponent are introduced and negative perceptions are reinforced”
Okay that all makes sense but this is supposed to be a review from a NGO point of view and my advertising budget is pretty small with not a lot of cash for negative ad buys. How do I get my message out? How do I survive in the data smog that is today’s media market?
As I was thinking about this while reading the next part of the lesson on how to do a ad buy when I got distracted by an article on how much it was going to cost for the Democratic and GOP candidates to do ad buys in all the February 5 state primaries. They are confronted by the same problems that I had. Too much message, not enough money to get it out. As I looked around at the Sask Party and Saskatchewan NDP YouTube sites it hit me that this for NGO’s, this is where much of the media efforts are going to be. It won’t replace advertising during Hockey Night in Canada or the Grey Cup but it is a distribution system that does have some power that is going to grow. The NGO’s are not the only ones who are discovering this, Tony Blair launched Labour Vision on YouTube (whose main video has Gordon Brown now claiming credit for it) The often stodgy Conservative Party has one. The Archbishop of Canterbury is using it. Even Hillary Clinton is creating ads just for the web. If The War Room is a partial update to Kicking Ass, I imagine that the next update will feature not just a ad buy guide for network and cable audience but one for the web as well. Before you guffaw, before long everyone will have moved to a smart phone or media device like a iPod Touch which include YouTube capabilities. In case you haven’t heard, a tiny company called Google is getting into the mobile phone market. Do you think that phone may have YouTube built into it as well? I am not saying that television is going away but it is going to be increasingly hard to ignore the impact of YouTube and Google Video in the future. Some more about this will be said when I get to Lesson Nine but if I was running a lot of organizations, I would start thinking long and hard about how you use video, how one creates a network to get the word out, and how that can grow, even if a Super Bowl commercial isn’t in the works.

Safety
Rudy posted this article a while ago and I just got around to reading it this weekend. It is a story on why gang intervention doesn’t work. The last three paragraphs of the article struck a chord with me as a parent and as someone who works with high risk kids
I realized that my role as a mentor was to provide a space for self-discovery, there is no setting better than a youth retreat outside of their hoods. Two weeks ago, along with some colleagues, I took 14 youth camping, three of them were females and the rest were males. They were all 8th graders. They came from all gang backgrounds, Norteno, Sureno, Cambodian and Laotian Crips. Half of the kids had criminal records, and most of them had been involved in a gang related fight at their school. Some of them had tattoos and all of them claimed to have a gang affiliation.
During the first day of the three day camp I asked them to introduce themselves by answering, “What is it that you fear?” With the exception of two kids, they all said that they feared their fathers. For the first time, they all shared an intimate moment with their “enemies.” Through out the camp we did activities that talked about our own strengths, families, and other discussion that dealt with us taking control of our destinies. For those three days they bonded; they played hide and seek together, ate together, laughed together, and shed tears together. The last night young Crips, Surenos, and Nortenos hugged one another.
Although they returned to their hoods represented by different gang sets, they will embrace the moment when with the help of there rival gang members, they were able to share some of the most symbolic moments of their lives, reflect on them, and heal their wounds.
After hearing the testimonies of so many kids, I know for a fact, that the only way to help anyone transform their life is by creating a space where people can have intimate moments by sharing their lives, reflecting on them, and finding the solution for their problems by themselves and for themselves.
On a fairly related note I am taking some early steps towards setting up a safe house for teen aged boys in the city. It is a long shot right now but if it happens it would provide that kind of space for 10-12 boys who are at high risk.
