Good point. Strip away the politics and there’s a legitimate economic argument here.
"I know many Canadians dislike giving President Trump some credit at times, but he made an important point about potash. Canada has managed potash much like dairy, tightly controlling supply and keeping prices high for decades."

Yet another data proof point that the Carney-Liberals should do more to lower fuel costs, and fuel is also a significant factor in food inflation. We can control govt taxes - which is why Conservatives have proposed a Diesel Price Relief Action Plan conservative.ca/conservative…
"Higher gas prices are forcing Canadians to spend more at the pump, leaving less for groceries. If fuel costs remain elevated, higher transportation costs could begin pushing food prices up in the coming weeks."

The Driscoll’s story by the CBC raises legitimate questions. CFIA confirmed some berries exceeded Canadian pesticide residue limits.
BUT...the claim that half of shipments were affected comes from a disputed lawsuit, not CFIA testing. An exceeded legal limit also does not, by itself, establish a health risk. Show us the data, CBC.

Always great to visit a radio station and have the conversation in person.
Chatted with Evan Bray in Regina, Saskatchewan yesterday about potash, diesel, AI, and everything in between.
Thanks for having me!

⛽️ « La hausse des prix de l'essence oblige à dépenser davantage à la pompe, ce qui réduit le budget consacré à l'épicerie.
🫱 Si les coûts du carburant restent élevés, l'augmentation des frais de transport pourrait faire grimper les prix des aliments dans les semaines à venir. »

For my followers who ask when food prices follow these record high and sustained fuel prices - notably diesel, the @FoodProfessor offers valuable insight … esp for those that think not diving or having an EV makes them I previous to this energy shock

Supply chain math is unforgiving. Fuel up means food up. No mystery here. And when groceries get expensive, nutrition quality drops first. The public health bill always comes later.
