For any Albertans interested in passenger rail, this is an excellent conference in Montana in August. bigskyrailmt.gov/2026-gnwrs-b... #alberta #yeg #yyc #passengerrail

The Alberta Passenger Rail Master Plan has been released today. #Alberta #Edmonton #calgary #passengerrail #trains www.alberta.ca/system/files...

First sighting of the new hop on hop off buses on Jasper Avenue on a rainy Tuesday. #edmontonexplorer #yeg #Edmonton #exploreedmonton

Edmonton is growing up. We have our very own hop on hop off bus using Molly Trolleys connecting many Edmonton attractions. Starts in mid June and ends Thanksgiving. #yeg #Edmonton #Alberta #tourism #hoponhopoffbus edmontonexplorer.travel

A special May 1st tour in yeg. Highly recommend. If you go, tip well! www.linkedin.com/posts/talkin... #yeg #Edmonton #tour

A good write up by someone i never thought I would agree with. montesolberg.substack.com/p/the-case-f... #Alberta #yeg #ycc

I like the stories so far from this new Canadian online media entrant. Positive versus the negative slant of traditional media and of course X, bsky.app/profile/be-g... #canada #Alberta #media #yeg

Alberta seems to be ramping up its passenger rail workforce weeks before the release of the Passenger Rail Master plan. jobpostings.alberta.ca/search/?crea... #yeg #yyc #alberta #passengerrail

Love this. Great tool for transit nerds. public.tableau.com/app/profile/... #yeg #ets #transit #bus

New podcast with the first guest Todd Babiak. Barney’s Tavern all about placemaking and lots of discussion about Edmonton successes and shortfalls. youtu.be/40EQi8whLew. #yeg #alberta #edmonton

I like this trade. Low risk, high reward stay at home bruiser. www.nhl.com/news/topic/t... #oilers #yeg

Budget day in AB. Only passenger rail item was $6M for YYC to airport and $1M each year after. The Ab passenger rail has launched with less than a whimper. #alberta #passengerrail #yeg #yyc

Feb 20 was the 18th birthday of the youngest. Unlike her older siblings who went bar hopping on their day, she wanted to go play bingo. Fun was had by all. #yeg #bingo #birthday

Well it took to February but Edmonton is finally acting like a winter city and going big on plowing right after a snow storm.

In less than 24 hours our patio furniture went from no snow to what is still accumulating. And our cat is comfy on the heat register. #yeg #winter #snow

Even with the curtains moved to give her a view, our muscular girl finds a spot to watch over the street. #yeg #dogsofbluesky #dogs

This frustrates me so much. In 2024 on time for passenger trains was 51%. We really need a Passenger Rail Priority Act in Canada. www.railcan.ca/wp-content/u... #canada #viarail #alberta #passengerrail

This is disheartening that the plan has long delays, likely costing more too. It is special when other jurisdictions have delays and increased costs in building. Alberta does it on the master plan which is just the overall direction, not the detail. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n... #alberta #yeg

Yesterday, the cat was warming up. Today, the dogs are prepping for the cold coming our way. #yeg #dogsofbluesky

The cat has spoken. Gonna get cold in Edmonton.

Anyone have any intel on when the Alberta Passenger Rail Master Plan is being released? The original date was summer 2025. #yeg #ycc #alberta #edmonton #calgary #rail

Anyone recognize this a**hole? He was busted on multiple cameras trying to get into a house near us in SW Edmonton. Feel free to share. #yeg

This article is for eastern Canada high speed rail but can just as easily be used in Alberta for HSR between Edmonton and Calgary or the Banff to Calgary in the hopefully soon to be released Passenger Rail master Plan. #alberta #yeg #ycc #banff #albertarail

The Rossdale Power Plant is back again. Will city council do something this time? Is anyone willing to invest? www.edmonton.ca/sites/defaul.... #yeg

For anybody interested in the former Tegler lot. Looks like the city is working on something. cityofedmonton.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #yeg

As a spouse of a teacher I can confirm this. “Come to Alberta. We’ll work our hardest to burn you out and get you to quit teaching.” #yeg #albertateachers #alberta

This article annoys me. This Is more about erratic commuters who are not on a set schedule and book last minute. Although i do feel for the Belleville person who has had frequency reduction. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/.... #viarail #passengerrail #commuter

Who knew compressed air could be used as an energy storage? This is so cool, and another example is that climate change will be challenged by many different technologies as well as giving the earth a chance to recuperate. #energystorage #canada www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Is there a program like this in Canada? This would be so much more impactful than electric vehicle rebates. rmi.org/the-e-bike-r...

This is a pretty cool transit app. You can follow ETS buses or LRT. Hope someday we will have regional and intercity passenger rail service. You can also go to any other area of the world. #yeg #transit travic.app?z=13&x=-1263...

Our neighbors to the south have been hosting an annual conference to increase support for passenger rail. It's time for Alberta to start hosting one to get the expertise and momentum to grow in western Canada. www.bigskyrail.org/2025-bspra-a... #yeg #yyc #Alberta #passengerrail

I’m a bit perplexed. Alberta announces a goal to have a pipeline to tidewater but with no private company’s confirmed to jump on the Canadian govt major projects list. Yet EllisDon has a much further advanced HSR project between Edmonton and Calgary and nothing. Frustrating. #yeg #yyc #hsr

The truce between the pup and the cat continues. #dogsofbluesky #catsofbluesky

This can also be applied to Alberta HSR and if the rails start being manufactured in Canada, CN and CPKS could potentially be buyers for replacement rails. thelogic.co/news/alto-hi...

On this day of reflection on the untimely passing of Dr Darren Markland, what could be a lasting legacy. I believe naming the now under construction mountain bike park at Queen Elizabeth Park in his honour would be a good start. #yeg #mountainbike

Love this. Wish we didn't need it.

Some nuggets about the Rail Alberta Master plan as well as LRT to the airport for both Edmonton and Calgary. #yeg #rail #lrt #yyc open.alberta.ca/dataset/b076...

Now, this is the way to open a new LRT. Who could we get? McDavid, Nathan Fillion, why not KD Lang. We have Valley Line West and the south extension of the Capital Line. What about Hugh Jackman as Wolverine with a giant statue at one of the stations. #yeg #lrt

I would love to see the expertise in Calgary and Edmonton LRT expansion put to future rail expansions throughout the province. Could help keep future costs under control. Be like Madrid. Could be a new motto. #yeg #yyc #rail #alberta

This article about Madrid’s metro system has some great insights about how its growth was quick, cheap, and of good quality. They identified 4 key points that made it possible and successful. Great read. worksinprogress.co/issue/how-ma...

This art piece is on the edge of the University of Alberta. Now, in my second week of my second year of university, after a three decades break, I look at this art with an even greater appreciation. Learning is for life. #uofa #education #yeg

Third summer reading complete. Excellent book and educational and interesting. The smoke at the top of the pic is from an appliance recycling fire. Smoke is now everywhere. Not related to the book but wonder if the fire department could get some ideas for how to put out this fire #urban #yeg

The joys of running before the temperatures hit over 30 degrees. 12 km = sleeping puppy = silent bliss #dogs #running #yeg

Everyday. Go to the bathroom, cats are watching, leave the house, pup is watching. You can never be lonely when you have fur babies. #dogs #cats #yeg

Almost no mosquitoes all summer, but now getting swarmed by these small ones. And they hurt. Come on winter. (Joking) #yeg #mosquitoes

Is anyone else excitedly waiting for the release of the Alberta Passenger Rail Master Plan? Or is it just me? #yeg #ycc #Alberta #rail

Camping the last 10 days and pouring rain in Vancouver. Everyone is sleeping, listening to the rain hit the roof of the trailer. #lazydaysofsummer #dogsofbluesky #camping
