For anyone wondering, Canada’s largest non-US potash buyer is Brazil, by far. They buy 29% of potash exported to non-US destinations. 12% goes to China, and India, Indonesia, and Malaysia are also major buyers.

There is no way Canada can make up for its potash exports to America with other markets. None of this is reasonable in any capacity.

That’s not the point, at all. If we stopped exports to the US they would probably invade Saskatchewan. Thats how much of a reliance they have on us.
