Obviously people are doing different things than me in their free time. I never get up to this kind of stuff Prepare to be amazed here.

Northern Alberta's Robust Economy Focus of Talks with Harper's Cabinet Ministers
EDMONTON - Many Canadians don’t realize how vital the Alberta oilsands are to the national economy, and the need for a public dialogue based on facts is critical to the success of the industry, says the co-author of a report by a leading financial advisory firm.
“The oilsands are going to be the economic engine for the country for the foreseeable future, for the next 25 to 30 years, and it is akin to the impact of building the national railway in the 1880s,” said Marc Joiner, a partner at Deloitte in Toronto.
The firm’s report, Gaining Ground in the Sands 2013, outlines 10 obstacles and opportunities and cites the need for a national debate and some kind of unified action and direction, perhaps along the lines of the Canadian energy strategy being promoted by Alberta Premier Alison Redford.
If federal cabinet ministers Jason Kenney, Maxime Bernier and Ed Fast didn’t fully appreciate just how much northern Alberta’s oilsands-driven economy is contributing to Canada’s GDP, or the magnitude of the region’s pressing labour force needs, they do now.
A delegation of Edmonton business and educational leaders travelled to Ottawa last week, where they delivered that message in spades in private meetings with several senior members of the Harper government.
They included representatives from the Prime Minister’s Office, as well as Immigration Minister Kenney, Bernier (the Minister of State, Small Business and Tourism), and Fast, the Minister of International Trade, Minister of Asia-Pacific Gateway. GRAB THIS STORY

Edmonton Winning Economic Battle with Calgary
By Calgary Herald, November 30th 2012
EDMONTON - Edmonton’s economy and housing market have been improving and are outperforming Calgary on several fronts, according to an analysis from the Conference Board of Canada.
These yardsticks include faster economic and house price growth this year, along with more housing starts in four of the past five months. The city’s housing markets should remain buoyant, fuelled by healthy population advances, said Robin Wiebe, senior economist with the board’s Centre for Municipal Studies. READ MORE HERE

Edmonton Alberta - Third best city in the world
Edmonton, Alberta was ranked the third best place in the WORLD to live by Numbeo
What is Numbeo?
"Numbeo is the world’s largest database of user contributed data about cities and countries worldwide, especially living conditions: cost of living, housing indicators, health care systems, traffic, crime and pollution."
This story came to my attention not because it was on the front page of every Edmonton newspaper but because it wasn't. Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel was not impressed. Huffington post's article brought many amusing comments that typically broke out into a fight.
It's crowd sourced information so many have called the ranking unreliable. I live here and I've lived across Canada and in other countries. In my opinion based on my experiences Edmonton is not bad at all in fact it's pretty darn great.
Sure winter is long but if you embrace and get the gear you will have a great time. It's sunny all year round, great affordable housing and so much to do.
I mean you could always live in Vancouver and get an entry level home like this or in Montreal and not have a job - just saying.

Procrastination is thy name!
I've finally started a job that I put off for 8 months. Yes 8 MONTHS. Everyday the pile taunted me as I cleared lower level tasks on my desk. As I crossed off more and more jobs on my to do lists over the year I still never felt satisfied because they were never the job I knew I should be doing. Other times I would ease tension and kill time I should be using on the big job to surf the net or look up the most ridiculous things.
Finally, finally today I started. I gritted my teeth got down to it and lost about 2 hours in such focus on the job that I was disappointed when I had to stop. It had been so long since I had done this "housekeeping" type job that I had forgotten how to do it. I spent 30 minutes dithering about trying to figure it out until I got it then realized - "Hey I like this job!" wait there is more IT WAS FUN.
So why hadn't I done it? Is it an upper limit problem?
So I give you this:
“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.”
― Denis Waitley
and this:
“If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.”
― Rita Mae Brown
I think I will finish this job this week and have a great time doing it. Isn't that funny.

Dear Friends and Partners,
I took part in pretty good workshop last week and here's one of the takeaways I got;
"If you want people to listen to you, listen to them". Simple enough, right? Something good to practice everyday and double time over the holidays.
At this event we were seated in tables of 5. I immediately noticed that my partner for the morning session had a real knack at asking excellent questions and then listening empathetically to the reply. Actually, it really wouldn't have mattered if her questions weren't as good as they were, it was at the quality and depth of her listening.
I asked her what line of work she was in and it turned out that she is a psychologist. Now you don't need to be a psychologist to listen well, but granted she's honed her skills. Nevertheless speaking with her reminded me of the effectiveness asking a few quality questions can bring. The real skill can be found in and waiting, listening and drawing out your partners reply - and not necessarily comment on it, just acknowledging it.
Another useful comment the speaker made was to 'Grow your strengths and manage your weaknesses'. It's a fairly popular adage and also a powerful one, especially when you apply it to the people that you work with, your family and your kids. Have them tell you what they perceive as strengths/weaknesses and then build them up whenever you have the chance. If you have kids you know they will love this exercise and your wife will tell you without asking!

Finding Skilled Workers a Tough Job All Over the World, Not Just Alberta
By Gary Lamphier, Edmonton Journal, November 27th 2012
EDMONTON - With the lowest jobless rate and the fastest-growing economy in Canada, Alberta is again grappling with labour shortages.
The situation isn’t yet as severe as it was at the height of the last boom, but if existing trends persist, a repeat of 2006-2007 may be just a year or two away.
Which is why Alberta government and business leaders have spent the past year pounding the table, warning of a looming shortage of more than 100,000 workers by 2020.
What is less well known, however, is that Alberta’s labour challenges are hardly unique. If anything, the global competition for qualified workers will get far tougher in the years ahead. FOLLOW THIS ARTICLE

Calgary Top Real Estate Investment Market in Canada, Edmonton Ranked Second
By Mario Toneguzzi, Calgary Herald, November 12th 2012
CALGARY — Calgary has been ranked as the top real estate investment market in the country followed by Edmonton by the Real Estate Investment Network Ltd.
In its Top Alberta Investment Towns report, REIN said that Alberta’s economy has come out on top after a few years of economic turbulence.
The report identifies towns and regions poised to outperform other regions of the province over the next three to five years.
And none is better than Calgary.
“After a couple of roller-coaster years, Calgary is back on a roll. The return of jobs to the city, as well as greatly reduced office vacancy rates show us that the city’s short slump has come to an end,” said the report. “Recording a GDP growth of three per cent in 2011, and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, it’s no wonder Calgary is sitting as one of the top places in North America for property investors. When you combine the economic fundamentals, the population growth, and a burgeoning provincial economy, it is easy to see why so many businesses and people have come to call the city home.
