That’s the thing, having the resources is one part of the puzzle. Managing them wisely is another. Africa by all rights is abundant in resources but the wealth of all those mines is not benefitting the workers literally slaving away to procure them. Not in the slightest.

When NDP talk we ignore.

The problem with the BHP is there is only so much demand for potash. It used to be that pcs managed its production to keep the price up similar to opec. Once bhp enters the. Market it will be low cost producer and the price of potash will drop by two thirds as the russian companies will be in a price war with saskatchewan companies.

Oh my. NDP socialists strike again. I know NDP sask history. I lived it. Voters have spoken many times through the development of potash.. Leaving NDP to judge was a good rate of return, be an economic disaster.

How come the share price of nutrien is so low?

People forget Saskatchewan was broke before they signed royalty deals and stopped trying to manage a mining company. Built up Regina and Saskatoon and start retaining youth instead of losing them. Now Regina is best bang for buck in Canada when it used to be a joke. Scott Moe and his predecessor have done an excellent job considering what they where given.

Some interesting stuff here with a great perspective point of view . I think many people are not in tune with all these political decisions. I am one of them. Just interested in the topic. I would surely to goodness hope for the sake of them people in Saskatchewan that the potash shareholders are first democratic allies and friendly nations. I just hope that China is not considered any kind of share holder or investor. It would be a shame to find out profits were going to China. In the same similar situation where ipsco was involved with a Russian oligarchs financing and share holding. I believe there are a couple potash mines , and let’s just hope no foreigners are taking away the income of potential provincial profits for the people who live in Saskatchewan. It’s definitely time to investigate the whereabouts of the profits are going and hopefully no provincial government has sold out the province behind the people’s back. As far as uranium, the same audit should be done, seeking the hidden wealth that is being lost from special deals that sold out the people for political gain . The oil industry is again the same. Where are profits going without the people receiving the answers. Everything looks sold out behind the back of the people. Who owns these industries.

Great points!

After people spend decades working and investing to finally make a profit these NDP and anti liberal guys pop up, give me your money🤣. Oh and our poverty and incarceration rate has nothing to do with the tax rates of potash.

why is canadian citizens still so poor so so much resourses?

Canada has this problem nationwide. Rich, multinational, huge corporations are soaking up all of the wealth to their white-collar executives and investors, and get a free pass when it comes to taxes, fair business practices, and what they give back to their communities. Mining, development, construction, oil and gas, agrifood. More of that wealth belongs to the communities that built those industries. Fairly uncontroversial opinion if you ask me.

​@@leswhynin913I don't disagree with natural resource development. I object to higher taxation & royalties. The NDP always do this.... they pander to young people and people who have never operated a business for themselves.... somebody with ingenuity & ambition to start a business. The fact is if you increase taxation & royalties investment from outside capital will dry up. It's easy to come in after the investment is made and say "ok now we are going to increase your royalties".... Fact is if the NDP was in place to begin with nobody would have invested in the first place. But ideologues like the NDP blame all the inflation we are experiencing on "greedy capitalists" and young naive people believe this bs. People who can think for themselves know that all of the inflation is a result of the govt printing money. Couple of things for you to think about.... I've been invested in Nutrien for the last 3 years. If the company is swimming in cash like this politician makes it sound then why has the stock continued to go down asides from the dividend? Second point .... why were all of the Potash mines developed by companies based outside of Canada? If Canada is so dam smart why didn't we develop our own resources? ... the answer is taxation. Canadians are taxed so much that it makes more sense to do business in the US. Big operations like potash mines requires capital.... the individuals who have the capital are not coming to Canada when you have a woke govt that taxes people & companies to the nuts.
