🚨 $544 BILLION.
That’s how much Canada has spent importing foreign oil since 1988 — from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Russia, Angola, Malaysia, Norway…
All while sitting on one of the largest, safest, most ethical oil reserves on Earth.
And why?
Because Ottawa refuses to build a single East-West pipeline that would keep Canadian energy in Canada, keep Canadian dollars in Canada, and keep Canadian workers employed in Canada. 🇨🇦
For 36 years we’ve been enriching dictatorships while bankrupting our own economy ..all in the name of “virtue.”
No serious country does this.
Only Canada does.🇨🇦
It’s time to stop importing the world’s oil and start exporting Canada’s future.
Do you agree ?🤔

“If Canada can convince the United States that we are more valuable as a reliable, committed partner within a strong, unencumbered North America, the 21st century will be neither the American nor the Canadian century, but the North American century,” says MLI Managing Director @brianleecrowley for Inside Policy.

I am back to both AI and an original Playing to Win/Practitioner Insights piece, my third co-authored with Ahmad Zaidi and Guilherme Loureiro.
This one is on Building an AI Augmented Enterprise: How to Leverage AI Strategy.
rogerlmartin.substack.com/p/becoming-an-…
Strategy is fractal. The enterprise makes the five choices across the Strategy Choice Cascade – and then so must entities within the enterprise, including businesses, functions, and regions.
All Strategy Choice Cascades must fit with and reinforce each other – including the AI Strategy Choice Cascade.
This piece shows how you can make AI strategy choices that build an AI Augmented Enterprise – and provides examples to illustrate.
Enjoy!

Canada is sweeping the #Oscars so far, and all without a single, too-easy Heated Rivalry joke. KPOP’s Maggie Kang, GIRL WHO CRIED PEARLS’ Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski, and just now FRANKENSTEIN’s Jordan Samuel (makeup) and Cliona Furey (hairstyling).

Welcome to Chapter Three of the Playing to Win/Practitioner Insights (PTW/PI) book club. I am reprising the 37 pieces that were ranked highest by readers – and they make up one books-worth of content.
The third is Strategy & Artificial Intelligence
rogerlmartin.substack.com/p/ptwpi-all-st…
This is the first of five pieces on AI in the PTW/PI series. In this one, I use the concept of the Knowledge Funnel, from my 2009 book The Design of Business, to characterize the fundamental role of AI.
I argue that AI has a particular Where-to-Play and How-to-Win (WTP/HTW). Its WTP is to find the mode/median/mean of a distribution and its HTW is to get there more cheaply, quickly and accurately. Outside that WTP, the HTW of AI is considerably weaker.
So, figuring where to use AI is a critical decision in business today.
I provide my commentary on the original piece and then the link to it.
I hope you enjoy it.
