[AB] Making ~$60k+ between freelance marketing and a part-time role in Alberta. Should I incorporate?

I'm in Alberta and my freelance marketing/content creation work has started growing quickly. I'm trying to figure out how I should structure it before it gets bigger.

Right now I have:

• $1,000/month client
• 2x $500/month client
• Other sporadic clients/projects
• $40k/year marketing role at ~25 hours/week

My clients currently just pay me directly and I invoice them personally. I'm not incorporated and haven't remitted any tax on my 2026 freelance income yet. I've started looking into setting money aside for income tax and the $30k GST threshold.

The $40k role would be much more like a regular part-time job, so I'm wondering if I should take that as employment income and keep my other marketing work as a separate business.

Would you:

  1. Stay a sole proprietor for now?
  2. Incorporate the freelance business, but take the $40k role as an employee?
  3. Have everything go through a corporation?

Also, is there anything tax-wise I should be doing right now rather than just setting money aside and dealing with it at tax time? Any potential expenses I could get covered?

I'm going to speak with a CPA before making any decisions, but I'd love to hear from people who've been in a similar position.

Canadian trying to transit Delhi T3 WITHOUT an Indian visa — separate tickets, carry-on only. Possible?

Hi! I’m a Canadian passport holder and I’m trying to figure out whether this itinerary is possible without an Indian visa.

Outbound:
United Airlines international flight → DEL T3 → separate ticket on IndiGo/another airline DEL → Dhaka (DAC)

Return:
DAC → DEL T3 → separate United Airlines international flight back to North America

Important details:

  • Carry-on only — NO checked baggage
  • Both arriving and departing flights are international
  • I do not plan to leave Terminal 3 or enter India
  • I would have the boarding pass for my onward flight on my phone
  • My United flight is non-rev/standby, so the boarding pass says STANDBY until I get a seat assignment at the gate
  • The flights are on separate tickets/PNRs

Has anyone actually done an international-to-international transfer at DEL T3 on separate tickets without an Indian visa, especially with carry-on only?

Were you able to follow the International Transfer signs, go through transfer security, and reach your next gate without clearing Indian immigration?

Also, has anyone done this with a standby boarding pass without a seat assignment yet?

Looking specifically for recent first-hand experiences at DEL. Thanks!

Cold Garden always talks about local art, but uses AI art all across their posts. Pick a side!

Like many, I used to love Cold Garden. But their stance on AI art is disgusting. They get artists to put their art on their walls for free decor, post about this all the time, meanwhile they use AI slop all across their Instagram. They only seem to support local art when it’s free, which is gross to say the least.
They posted this today on Instagram, had dozens of comments calling it out, to which they did a bullshit “AI is one of many tools but we love local art” comment.
Do better!

In which film do they say the title the most?

I presume it’s a movie where the title is a person, place, or thing (Matilda, Casablanca, Titanic, Alien).

It’s infamous when it’s done only once (Minecraft, Hot Tub Time Machine), I’m curious when it’s done often.

My friends and I are having this debate, let’s hear what you think!

Note: It must be the full title, so Spider-Man for Spider-Man: Homecoming wouldn’t count.
