Canada Just Lost a Billion-Dollar Project - Here’s Why

A billion-dollar Canadian success story just left the country - and Ottawa didn’t even notice.

Stephen LeDrew is joined by Dan McTeague, former Liberal MP and one of Canada’s most respected energy and economic analysts, to break down the stunning Nutrien story: the world’s largest potash company has chosen to build its new tidewater port in Washington State, not Canada.

Why?

Because taxes are lower.

Permits are faster.

Regulation is reasonable.

And Canada’s bureaucracy has become a brick wall.

The two dig into:

• How Nutrien warned Ottawa months before making the decision

• Why Canada’s regulatory system is now the slowest in the OECD

• How a 44% explosion in federal bureaucracy has crippled growth

• Whether foreign environmental groups are influencing Canadian policy

• The larger danger: Canada’s investment, productivity, and competitiveness spiraling downward

This is the story the legacy media - funded by the Prime Minister’s Office - won’t touch. But it’s the reality Canadians need to hear if we ever hope to rebuild a functioning economy.
