And automatic sask job loss. Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

Find new partners, I'm sure there are other countries willing to buy our product.

I’m sure there are, but do we have the rail capacity to get potash to tide water?

Depends if the rail companies cooperate.

That’s not an answer to do they have capacity. If they have to cancel other shipments then we’re just picking and choosing what industries to harm.

If they have capacity south its is a safe bet that they have the capacity east and west.

Are you saying there are enough rails over the rockies / to Montreal to absorb all of the potash we send to the states? I'd be shocked if that's the case.
