Canada is the only major fertilizer producing jurisdiction outside of the EU with a direct price on carbon. Between 2025-2030 under the Liberal industrial carbon tax scheme, the Canadian fertilizer production sector will face up to $1.32 billion in cumulative carbon tax costs on both direct emissions when producing fertilizer and on inputs like power and energy.
Not only has Mark Carney made potash exports uncompetitive with his industrial carbon tax but be has inflated fertilizer imports for our farmers with 15% tariffs.
These taxes cause real consequences to Canadian industries.
Conservatives demand that both be cancelled immediately.

I think everyone can agree that more trade with democratic countries around the world is a good thing.
We have strong ties to Europe thanks to Stephen Harper. Although with CETA, 10 more European countries still need to approve the deal. Let's focus on resolving that first.
Other decisions of whether or not to pursue any status with the European Union should be for Canada's Parliament to make after robust debate and thorough study, and quite frankly after voters go to the ballot box.
With no definition of what an "associate member" is, though, Canadians are left in the dark right now, wondering about what it means.
The PMO and even Mark Carney himself denied seeking associate member status, saying the Wall Street Journal article was wrong. Yet here is the EU President publicly contradicting those claims while Mark Carney excitedly smiles and claps. So, which is it?
Where's the respect and transparency that Canadians deserve about our own country's future?
"In this new world, we must urgently re-imagine our partnerships."
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposes Canada become the first associate member of the European Union https://t.co/cFUH3r9VTf
The Prime Minister can’t seem to get his story straight about the “associate membership,” “unique alliance,” or whatever else he is negotiating with the EU.
Conservatives are clear: we support the decades-old free trade & NATO defence alliance with Europe.
But no EU taxes, no EU laws, and no EU open-border immigration policies should be imposed on Canadians.
Canada must be independent and sovereign. Period.
With all the talk around investment in pipelines and other major projects this week, it is worth mentioning that there is a project here in Southwest Saskatchewan that is shovel ready and that is for a helium liquefier.
The world needs our helium. We need the ability to get it to the world.
Exactly! With the Liberals it is always add more bureaucracy and another process for project proponents to navigate through instead of just making the process simple, predictable, and reliable.
Canadians do not need another layer of bureaucracy, they need projects approved and built.
A new C.D. Howe Institute report finds that the Major Projects Office fails to address the political decisions, unclear rules and regulatory barriers responsible for delays.
The Prime Minister promised to 'build at speeds not seen in generations,' yet all Canadians received was another layer of bureaucracy on top of an already lengthy, complex process. Until these roadblocks are removed, the MPO will not deliver the speed or certainty Canada needs.
Canadians are launching more businesses in the U.S. than in their own country and there are “517 American companies started by Canadians. They’ve raised about $414 billion.”
We must make Canada the freest, lowest-taxed, and simplest place for entrepreneurs to invent, grow, and build.
CARNEY LIED
Carney EXPLICITLY said he WOULD NOT engage in defence cooperation with China.
He then SECRETLY began military talks with China on DEFENCE COOPERATION.
Carney tried to HIDE this. We only learned about it from CHINESE STATE MEDIA.
NOTHING Carney says can be trusted
Thank you @DeanAllisonMP for doing this. It is important for Canadians to be able to tell their stories.
If you were unable to watch any of the testimony live, please go to the @AllisonInquiry page and watch the proceedings.
“COMPASSION SHOULD NEVER BE CONTROVERSIAL”
In his closing statement, MP Dean Allison reflected on one of the most fundamental responsibilities of elected representatives: to listen.
He asked a simple but important question: If we can listen to people’s stories privately, why can’t we listen to them publicly?
Dean thanked, above all, the witnesses and expert witnesses who came forward, along with their families and support people who helped them get to this point. He also expressed his gratitude to his wife, Rebecca; the Members of Parliament who attended; the Parliament staff who worked behind the scenes; the independent journalists and media who covered the proceedings; and the citizens whose support made the Inquiry possible.
But the question now is: Where do we go from here?
We must keep the conversation going. We must continue asking questions. We must encourage legislators to step forward and challenge government to be transparent and accountable.
And we must resist censorship. Every Canadian has a right to know the truth.
The Allison Inquiry may be coming to an end, but the conversation does not have to.
Compassion should never be controversial.
I have been saying for a while now that the Liberals need to make substantive structural changes to create an advantage in Canada for Canadian businesses and energy producers.
This is a step in the right direction. Still more to do. Now green-light the 500 projects waiting for approval to give our economy the jolt of energy it needs.
“In the years since the pandemic, [victims] said one of the biggest insults added to their injuries is that they were dismissed as not credible, not truthful and, in some cases, not even injured from the vaccine or from their loved one’s wounds or deaths.”
Only those who have not attended or listened to the @AllisonInquiry can dismiss witnesses’ testimony as, in the words of Andrew Coyne, “horse****.”
Thanks to @DeanAllisonMP and Shawn Buckley for providing a forum where all stories, facts, and opinions can be heard. #AllisonInquiry #cdnpoli
🚨 BREAKING: Mark Carney is holding defence coordination talks with Communist China. This was kept hidden from Canadians until Chinese media reported on it.
Communist China has kidnapped our people, interfered in our elections, and set up police stations on Canadian soil. Before the election, Carney even said that this regime was the biggest threat to Canada in the world!
Why does Carney continue to push Canada towards Beijing?
Poilievre: Release the deal. Hold the leverage. Lake Ontario stays Lake Ontario
Pierre Poilievre used a scrum to hammer Mark Carney on the collapsed U.S. trade talks, Google’s “Lake America” stunt, and Monday’s by-elections.On the talks:
“We need to see the deal. What’s the deal?”
Carney “had accepted that there was going to be a deal,” told premiers to put American liquor back on shelves and buy U.S. goods, then “about 90 minutes before the deadline, he decided to change his mind.”
“All we’ve seen is changing stories.” He also flipped on Gordie Howe Bridge tolls
“The only way Canadians will ever know what deal we might have had… is if we just release the deal.”
On Google renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” for U.S. users:
“Google’s made a mistake. Google is wrong. Google should restore the name to what it always was and what it is, always will be. It is Lake Ontario. It is Lake Ontario today and it will be Lake Ontario always.”
What he would have done differently:
Liberals made “six or seven preemptive concessions before they even got to the negotiating table. You never make concessions before the negotiations begin. You hold your leverage close to your chest.”
His leverage list:
* Critical minerals (10 of 12 NATO-defined military minerals; enough refined cobalt for 75,000 F-35s; tungsten, gallium)
* Oil in a “gigantic reserve” available to tariff-free partners
* Military purchases tied to tariff-free access
* Canada as the biggest buyer from ~25 U.S. states
“Fight for tariff-free trade.”
On tomorrow’s by-elections:
“It’s a chance for Canadians to send a message. They’re tired of paying too much for groceries, gas and housing. The cost of the Carney Liberals is adding up… Vote to take all tax off gas. Vote to reverse Liberal inflation. Vote to make this a country where hard work pays off” @PierrePoilievre
Buck Martinez is a legend!
Whether it was watching him manage the Jays on Sunday afternoons if our farmer vision tv could get the game, or listening to his iconic home run call, I always appreciated what he brought to the game.
Even though he retired as a player before I was born, I have learned to appreciate the passion and style with which he played.
Thanks Buck for all the great memories!
Mark Carney has had the worst first-year growth of any Prime Minister on record.
Canada is deindustrializing and falling behind the rest of the world because of 11 years of Liberal anti-development laws that Carney keeps in place.
We need a Conservative Economic Action Plan that green-lights projects, encourages wealth creation, and brings jobs and industry roaring back: https://t.co/FKCwB2PnNC
Half of working Canadians should not be living paycheque to paycheque in a country with trillions of dollars of commodity strength beneath our feet.
Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, reconvene Parliament. Put the big decisions before the country and replace managed decline with the ambition of a rising power.
