Brian Crossman: Artificial Intelligence, the oilpatch, and John Wick’s dog
Here is another concern of mine: I have watched enough movies to know that the terminator scares the crap out of me, as does “Agent Smith” from the Matrix movies. I am pretty sure Sarah Conner, Kyle Reese and Neo aren’t coming to save us. (But if AI kills John Wick’s dog, my money is on Keanu Reeves)
Brian Zinchuk: We are living in 1938, again hearing the drumbeats of war
My grandfather, Harry used to say to me, “Brian, why would you want to go and stop a bullet?” As a young man, full of patriotic bluster, I replied I would die for my country.
Now, with years of reflection and perhaps some wisdom, I see much more deeply the meaning behind his words. And I tell my own kids, “Why would you want to go and stop a bullet?”
Brian Zinchuk: Shrinkflation strikes again

Brian Zinchuk: Trump’s takeover of Venezuela means Canada needs those west coast pipelines ASAP
Anyone remember when Trump said back on Jan. 23, 2025, “We don’t need their oil and gas. We have more than anybody”?

Brian Crossman: Being good neighbours
If it’s Quebec and Ontario to the east, or coastal BC to the west, there is always a roadblock, be it philosophical, cultural and even literal on occasion.
