Brian Crossman: A root cause analysis of why so many are so mad at Ottawa, including the guy who yelled at Chrystia Freeland
When you're being sacrificed, someone might get yelled at (Root Cause Analysis: a method for understanding the underlying cause of an observed or experienced incident.) A big part of my job throughout my career has been safety. Please don’t hold that against me. (Not...
Brian Crossman: Meeting the future prime minister of Canada, maybe…
The current administration is, as we say in the oilpatch, “shitting the bed.” And not just for Western Canada, but the whole damn country. (Prove me wrong) It is time for a change.

Ian Madsen: Lessening Saskatchewan’s Reliance on Commodity Bonanzas
The Saskatchewan government should take a leaf from resource-dominated states south of the border and proactively enact legislation that compels government agencies to not do business with financial firms or other corporate entities that discriminate against firms engaged in lawful activity in energy, mining, forestry, agriculture and related sectors, under the guise of a pernicious form of green social credit scoring called ‘ESG’: Environmental, Social and Governance standards created by outside, often anti-business and anti-growth interest groups.
