At the first Trump cabinet meeting, he stated his intentions clearly. He restated blatant lies and disinformation, and he won’t really be questioned on it from the press or from any US politicians. The US is the enemy of Canada and should be understood as such. Take heed of his treatment of Ukraine - when he noted that they would lose the war without US help - and consider what he will propose when he uses the same argument on us. He makes it very clear in the video.
And very carefully consider which of our political leaders will stand up to Trump when he makes the argument that we need American military in our country to protect us.
Potash does so much more then fertilize Corn, it fertilizes everything! If the farmers cannot fertilize their feilds the food products will suffer, more so than it did this year with Trumps big imminent round up. I read somewhere that it takes one year of not fertilizing a feild properly to mess it up, for something like 5 years I could be totally wrong on that memory but I do know not fertilizing properly really screws things up. Farmers that also raise cattle maybe able to make it more than two years but they will be suffering fast.
That is a long term war plan, what I laid out would happen within weeks, if not days.
It will affect everything but trump is already importing potash from Belarus so he will just get it elsewhere. The big deal is corn because of the uses for the product. It’s in literally everything in some form. Next to soy it’s the largest crop by far. It fucks the entire system including animal feed. I grow veggies on a small scale ((1/4 acre) I assure you corn will take a hit before they can replace potash but we need to act fast.
Saskatchewan has the majority of the worlds potash in the world. It is 7 or 8 of the other mineral extraction is not mined like it is here, it is filtered through water or something. Yes there are other deposits around the world but it is not the same quantity or quality as it is here.
I am aware. Not as easy to access. It’s mostly mined worldwide. Thus it’s more expensive. It also doesn’t have the same growing capacity as ours because of micronutrient content. It still can be replaced and modern crops adjusted to suit. That takes time. This the need to hurry the hell up in potash.
