Canadians urge ban on potash sales to USA

[Diogenes]

It is clearly Rob Ford. The point here is image searches often make mistakes. If you were better, you would compare him to other pictures. The idea of having a trade war between Canada and the USA would have seemed bizarre in 2016, but seems very possible right now. It is amazing how things suddenly change.

Two fat Canuck brothers look alike to me, Salty Walty.

Now, Salty Walty, can you explain your statement?

When Doug Ford says it today, it makes sense.

...and on and on and on.

 

[Walt]

can you explain your statement?

I did. In fact, you quoted me as explaining it.

 

[Diogenes]

I did. In fact, you quoted me as explaining it.

Is that so, Salty Walty?

Quote the alleged post, Salty Walty.

Naturally, I doubt that you can, Salty Walty.

 

[Diogenes]

I did. In fact, you quoted me as explaining it.

Where's that quote, Salty Walty?

 

[AProudLefty]

...and on and on...

Poor guy.

 

[Walt]

Where's that quote, Salty Walty?

I will quote it again:

Had Rob Ford said that in 2015, we would have all thought the drugs were getting to him.

When Doug Ford says it today, it makes sense.

I will quote it again:

That doesn't explain why it makes sense, Salty Walty.

You failed, Salty Walty.

You don't know why it would make sense, Salty Walty.

 

[Walt]

That doesn't explain why it makes sense

Talking about a trade war between the USA and Canada in 2016 would have been insane. Talking about it now makes sense. I am not agreeing with it, but it is a logical issue.

I really do not know how I can explain this too you more... So I am moving on.

You forfeit, Salty Walty.

I win, Salty Walty.

You claimed you could explain why it made sense, Salty Walty, and you didn't, Salty Walty.

If that happens, the US can make potash from fly ash a residual biproduct of coal fired power generation. In fact, that would help to get rid of the huge piles of coal ash around the US while making use of it.

So why do we need them?

 

[T. A. Gardner]

So why do we need them?

Canada? We really don't. As far as I can tell, the only reason Canada makes out and has lots of trade with the US is because they offer much lower prices than US vendors do.

There it is. The USA needs them for the low prices.

Trump isn't very good at economy, is he?

He's toying with America as if it's his business enterprise to risk failure on.

You're an idiot.

"Potash is a trade name for potassium bearing minerals used for fertilizer." -- U.S. Bureau of Land Management

Programs: Energy and Minerals: Mining and Minerals: Non-Energy Leasable Materials: Potash | Bureau of Land Management

Potash A langbeinite continuous miner in the Secretary's Potash Area in Southeastern New Mexico. Potash is a trade name for potassium bearing minerals used for fertilizer. The two potash minerals mined in New Mexico are Sylvite (potassium chloride) and Langbeinite (potassium-magnesium sulfate)...

Potash is not potassium, Sybil.

Canada is the biggest produce, and we are the biggest consumer... We used to think that was a lucky match, and then trump came along.

The United States has it's own potash, Wally.

 

[Into the Night]

Where do you think it comes from?

It naturally occurs, Wally. You can also easily synthesize it from potassium and chlorine, or potassium and sodium carbonate.
Did you know that the wildfires in California produced potash??

 

[Into the Night]

That is the one thing it always is. It is salt compounds that contain potassium.

Potassium is not a salt, Wally.

So all you need to do is skip the next 1,000 to 10,000 meals, and we will be fine.

Why do you suggest starvation, Wally?
