let's fucking GOOOOOOOO

So #fordnation is asking #saskatchewan to stop shipping our potash to the states. This puts me in a unique position, as someone who's lived in both ontario and saskatchewan for a chunk of my life and to an extent call both home. This is a tricky problem and I'm open for more answers on how to address it so that saskatchewan takes more of our fair share of the burden from ontario, who is currently wielding most of it. I don't think saskatchewan should stop selling potash to the states, at least yet. Or even tax it. But if Ontario feels slighted by saskatchewan's doing this, I think that's totally valid and something scott moe should be working with trudeau and ford on including but not limited to 1) making sure that ontario (along with the rest of the provinces) gets *more of the lion's share* and especially a chunk of saskatchewan's share of canada's federal goverment repsonse to these tariffs. We should be willing to forego federal transfers so that ford can redirect funds that saskatchewan would be getting to impacted dairy farmers, if that's what he's truly worried about. Brad Wall showed that saskatchewan can do without extra help from the federal government during bad times. We can do so now. 2) saskatchewan can work with Saputo and Lucerne on a made-in-saskatchewan approach to ensuring that saskatchewan supply chains and marketing for ontario dairy products can flow elsewhere. And can help ford reach out to markets in europe who might also be interested in canadian dairy products. Short term it'll be messy but if the saskatchewan government actually puts some effort towards this I don't think ontario can really fault us for continuing to sell potash as a result There's probably other ways saskatchewan can work with ontario, I'm open for ideas.

stuff that we should be doing instead of adding retaliatory tariffs to the US : 15) According to the CBC and my friend Jerry who pointed this out, this past year saw a 1B$ cut to the canadian forces budget. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/department-national-defence-budget-billion-1.6981974 all the while increasing requirements of what it was supposed to be doing with the money it had. There's other things than funding the canadian forces canada should be doing, and this is typical for liberal governments but now is not the time to be nickle and diming our armed forces given stuff like #14 - we need to properly fund our armed forces enough to handle some of the extra work they are going to be expected to do at the *very least*.
