Alberta short 100,000 workers

Edmonton — A new Alberta government report projects a shortfall of 100,000 workers over the next decade in the province's super-heated economy.
The report calls for a stronger push to train more workers and better recruitment programs to lure more people into the work force, including aboriginals.
There's also a renewed call for relaxed federal immigration policies to allow more skilled workers to come to Alberta from outside of Canada.
Alberta's booming oil sands region has been complaining for several years about a lack of tradesmen to help build more than $100-billion in new projects over the next two decades.

Shaw Secure Tech Sux

So, Shaw Secure....bite my pasty white rear, because you're tech. support is horrible. I know I know, why did I let Shaw secure effect my computer in the first place? Guess I'll live and learn. Now I can't view photos in without opening Picasa first...pain dans le arse. If I could, I'd post a grovy picture of people doing something interesting or a photo of a giant Goose or something....

As it is, nothing. This blank space brought to you by the ineffective folks at Shaw Tech. support and Shaw Secure.

The Trophy Wife cares

So, apparently the Trophy Wife (credit the term to Garner Andrews http://www.radiosonic.fm/garner/) thinks I don't have anything useful to say. Much love dear. No soup for you!

Can I suggest some good folk-country for those of you that don't live in 'Berta? Check out Corb Lund http://www.corblund.com/ for a taste of Western Irony and a good base line.

......off to try and think of something "funny and useful" to say...

....and so it begins

Post number one. Wow. Somehow I thought I'd have tons to say, but really, nothing is coming to mind other than that I really hate Matt Good...Alert Status Red blasting through the tiny PC speakers right now, and I am reminded of my burning hatred for all things Matt Good. Nothing good since Symbolistic White Walls.

Many thanks to James "me and Henzo rollin' in the Benzo" Henderson for providing me with the drive to make a blog of my own.

So, I think i'll try and build this up and place some fotos at some stage. Until then mes amies!
