8/8 As MacKinnon meets with executives, the question remains: Can late-stage persuasion reverse a decision based on the bottom line, or has the ship already sailed for Washington?

Ottawa is pressing Nutrien to change course on building a potash export terminal in the U.S.
The Saskatchewan-based fertilizer giant this week chose Longview, Wash., for its new export terminal worth up to $1-billion

7/8 With global demand set to climb to 80 million tonnes by 2030, driven by hungry markets in China and India, the pressure is on.
Ottawa is now racing to offer incentives, promising infrastructure investments in Saint John and Vancouver to lure the project back.

6/8 This is more than just a lost contract; it is a warning light for the national economy.
Potash is Canada's fifth-largest export and a "critical mineral" for global food security.
Saskatchewan mines account for over 30% of global production—leverage that Ottawa is desperate to keep at home.

5/8 The chosen site involves a 97-year-old berth, but it beat out modern Canadian contenders like Vancouver and Prince Rupert.
CEO Ken Seitz noted that regulations, taxes, and approval timelines all tipped the scale away from Canada.

4/8 Nutrien’s decision wasn't political—it was a calculation of cold, hard economics.
The company assessed Pacific Northwest options against a matrix of 30 criteria, including rail rates and construction costs.
Longview, Washington’s "Berth 4" consistently came out on top.

3/8 The stakes for Prime Minister Mark Carney are high.
In October, he committed to doubling non-U.S. exports to $600 billion.
But if this deal holds, by 2031, half of the potash mined by Nutrien for overseas markets will bypass Canadian ports entirely, flowing through the U.S. instead.

2/8 Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon is not hiding his disappointment.
He has requested an urgent meeting with Nutrien’s project team to "convince them to change their mind."
"Saskatchewan potash should be moved out of a Canadian port," he insisted Friday in Brampton.

Too bad Conservatives like Scheer or Poilievre can lie their asses off and their base will still believe them l.
Even when the evidence clearly shows they lied.

I read the report (briefly) and it says to hire more EA’s, cap classroom sizes (by grade/age needs), invest in FSCD, PUF, early learning…. Which is 100% what was said from the beginning by ATA and teachers, now they are rebranding it as “their idea” from “their committee”?
