Brian Zinchuk on Evan Bray Show: Multilaterals, coal revival, major projects and more

There are pluses to them, but also minuses. And a lot of jobs and businesses are in trouble.
There are two sides to every issue, except for multilateral wells, which have several sides. They are so complicated, they have not just pluses and minuses, but square roots! And I hope you’ll forgive me for goofing on a serious issue. You’re doing valuable reporting here and I’m just too frivolous by nature to give you the frank praise you deserve.

Thanks, NDP.
Noticed, did you?
At first I thought the output was the orange graph.
