Did you go to Edmonton Folk Music Festival this year?
This year was my first year attending the festival and boy oh boy I feel like I’ve been missing out for a long time.
The only negative I can think of was a lot of children wilding about during the final main stage performances. I’m all for having it as a family friendly event but parent your kids please!

Went to the Folk Music Festival in Edmonton for the first time this year. It was an atmosphere I have yet to experience in a crowd that size before. Good vibes, good energy, good music, good people. I will say as the evening went on some of that goodness disappeared as people’s drink counts went up, but that’s hardly surprising. What WAS surprising was how many people just let their kids wild out as the big names hit the stage in the evening. That was pretty disappointing.
That being said, I will definitely be attending again next year. #yeg #Edmonton #FolkFest

Why one AHS nurse’s 2022 salary was higher than the CEO’s
What do people think of this? An AHS nurse was making over $500k - people I know in the industry were saying to do this, he'd have to work 16 hours a day with overtime, every single day (no vacation, no weekend) for an entire year, and some said it sounded impossible. How is this even above-the-board lol?

Anyone have any recommendations?
