More than 40 countries - Canada and its allies - have sanctions against Belarus for supporting war criminal Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Buying blood potash from Belarus is supporting Russian aggression.
It’s wrong and it doesn’t make sense.
All of that potash has to be shipped first through Russia, then across the ocean, then across the US to mid-western farmers.
Does anyone believe Belarusian blood potash shipped through Russia is going to be more affordable, more sustainable or more ethical than potash shipped from Saskatchewan - right here in North America?
Belarus cannot realistically replace Canadian potash for the us.
Canadian supply is next door, tied into established rail networks and decades of reliable farm delivery. Belarusian potash would have to travel through congested Russian rail lines, reach a Russian port, cross an ocean, then be moved inland again, via massive shipping costs. That is more distance, more risk, more middlemen, and ultimately higher costs for American farmers.
trump can announce a “deal,” but geography does not negotiate. Replacing Canada with Belarus is not an economic strategy. It is a costly political stunt that puts the us food supply in the hands of an authoritarian regime and makes groceries more expensive for Americans.

StarCraft was the kind of game that could make an entire night disappear.
You’d sit down for “one quick match,” then suddenly it was way too late, the room was dark, and the only light came from the CRT.
Terran, Zerg, Protoss. Battlenet. LAN games. That unmistakable soundtrack.
For a lot of us, StarCraft wasn’t just a PC game. It was part of growing up with a computer in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
