TALKING POINT: Choo-choo! The province has announced it's planning to expand Alberta's passenger train network. Tell us about a train trip you have taken. #Yeg
Talking Point: Alberta has seen huge growth in our population over the past year with many people moving from other parts of Canada. So we're asking, what's your story of moving to Alberta? #yeg cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Tune into @CBCEdmonton this morning at 7:50 am. I’m sure you have seen the ads for Wall Pilates and Lazy Girl Workouts. We are gonna dig into their efficacy. @MarkConnollyCBC @CBCradiotara
There is no greater indicator of the relevance & importance of @ckuaradio than people freely giving their money to something they “could” if they wanted, get for free. Literally millions of $$. It’s astonishing but speaks to CKUA’s value to music & the Arts in AB & 🇨🇦

LISTEN: @CBCradiotara chats with @scenicalaska about new LP 'Lasts Forever' for @EdmAMCBC. 'Lasts Forever' out now everywhere cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
TALKING POINT: Scary or surprising animal encounters. Like this goose, who seems to be watching our studio from across the street. #Yeg
TALKING POINT: Alcohol sales in grocery stores. Do you support this idea? The government is looking into this, since Ontario introduced it. #yeg
TALKING POINT: An artist you'd like to see perform with a symphony orchestra. Celeigh Cardinal is performing next week with the ESO, following in the famous footsteps of such performers as Procol Harum, whose album Whiter Shade of Pale went platinum in 1972. #yeg
Or not….(still awake)
4-0 Oilers. A guy might get a decent nights sleep after all. #LAKvsEDM
Times running out … and so will the baking. Help my kiddo make a difference but hurry up would yah! @MarkConnollyCBC I know you like sweets

TALKING POINT: What does Earth Day mean to you? #yeg
We desperately need at least 15 more people to volunteer at the Sherwood park Runwild race Saturday May 4. Mostly Marshalls who just stand along the route & cheer on the kids sign up at Runwild.ca under volunteer & select the Sherwood park wildones marafun option
TALKING POINT: Calgary has a new slogan - Blue Sky City. So, what should Edmonton's slogan be? Or, are we okay without one? #yeg
TALKING POINT: Your volunteer stories. Do you volunteer? Why and where? There is a volunteer fair coming up Saturday!
Bike/Delivery lane at 102nd Ave. Nice job everybody! #Yeg
TALKING POINT: What's your relationship with country music? The Canadian Country Music Awards are coming in September and we will speak with the co-host of the event, Mackenzie Porter, later in the show. #Yeg

@MarkConnollyCBC Europe UK - Belgium, then to Paris. Germany to Amsterdam on a different trip. Loved train travel
@MarkConnollyCBC The Eurostar Train from Paris France to a London England which goes under water!
@MarkConnollyCBC I came home from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics by train and it was incredible!!
@MarkConnollyCBC I've taken the train from Vancouver to Seattle a couple times now and it is so much more comfortable and convenient than driving that route. It is the easiest border crossing I've experienced.
@MarkConnollyCBC Planning and completing are two different things.
@MarkConnollyCBC A train network needs to be integrated & include consideration of #activetransportation. It must consider the need to put #bikes #scooters into trains & have stations integrated into #cycling infrastructure. Hope @YourAlberta consults groups like @AlbertaCycling #shpk
@MarkConnollyCBC On my recent trip to Japan, I had the privilege of riding the Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Osaka. A great way to travel.
@MarkConnollyCBC Used rail to traverse the UK in 1998, Chunnel train in 2018, Italy in 2008. As great as though experiences were, they never beat the feeling of a steam train in the Kettle Valley, or seeing Thomas the Tank Engine in Fort Calgary.
@MarkConnollyCBC I was 10 and got to ride train from Edmonton to Jasper it’s something I will never forget my dad met us I. Jasper with trailer so it was my mom and siblings
@MarkConnollyCBC I remember being excited about a train trip between Calgary and Edmonton back in the 70s. Then I saw the train. It was a single boxy car, no distinguishable engine that I remember, and the car was old and dirty. Scenery was beautiful but it put me off train as a way to travel.
@MarkConnollyCBC @rmountaineer from Banff to Vancouver. April 2023.
@MarkConnollyCBC Montreal to Quebec City. Very relaxing
@MarkConnollyCBC About time! Asian and European countries have been running efficient railways for years. We should be trying to catch up
@MarkConnollyCBC Does the train at the then-called Story Land Valley Zoo count? I can remember smelling the fumes of the black smoke from the locomotive as it wind through the grounds.
@MarkConnollyCBC When I was little, we took the train to interior BC. And last fall we trained from London to Edinburgh.
@MarkConnollyCBC Once upon a time, (back in the 60s) there was the “Dayliner” train that operated between Edmonton and Calgary once or twice a day. Not sure I ever took it but I recall it blocking traffic as it sped alongside Hwy 2.
@MarkConnollyCBC I love trains. I’ve taken Via from Edmonton to Toronto about 20 times. Last week I was on the train from Vancouver to Edmonton. There was a man on board who’s written a book about Via. He said even the Orient Express doesn’t have glass topped dome cars like Canada’s Via Rail.
@MarkConnollyCBC @gisellegeneral Longest train trip was from Florence, Italy to Oostende, Belgium (to cross the English Channel). Coolest train trip was an overnight sleeper car from Cairo to Karnak Luxor, Egypt. I love train travel. But this announcement in Alberta is intended to distract from Bills 18 & 20.
