I’ve been saying we need to put a nice export tax on potash. If the US wants it, they pay an extra 50% or something to take it out of Canada. That collected tax can be used in our new build up Canada movement.
The US has no other real option for potash. Canada is the worlds largest supplier and we fulfill 85% of the US need - around $3.6 billion a year. They can pay more for it and Canada can use that money to improve our position in the world stage.
I know one of the big potash companies just said that they would stop selling to the US (I am fairly sure it wasn’t Mosaic, I don’t think it was BHP, and I am blanking on the other big one), I just hope they keep the embargo up.
