Alberta has a plan to diversify its resource extraction-tilted economy: double its tourism industry by 2035.

That includes all-season resorts, raising questions. Who will do the work to make destinations hum? And how will those employees be treated?

Spotted this bird of prey in my front yard about 30 minutes ago and I'm wondering if anyone from the Mastodon birding community can identify it?

I don't think I've ever been in a position to capture such a clear picture before.

Banned from starting their strike by Alberta’s UCP government, Edmonton Public School workers didn’t show up at work on Thursday anyway.

Instead they joined a huge rally by public sector union members on the steps of the Alberta legislature. #ablab

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 15 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.
