Stephen LeDrew opens today’s Three Minutes with a story every Canadian should hear - a billion-dollar vote of non-confidence in Canada’s economy.Nutrien, the Saskatchewan-based potash giant and one of the world’s largest fertilizer suppliers, warned Ottawa last year that it desperately needed expanded port access to ship product to Asia. With Vancouver clogged, over-regulated, and stagnant, the company signalled it might need to look south unless the Federal Government changed things.Ottawa did nothing.Now the verdict is in: Nutrien is spending $1 billion to build its export terminal in Washington State - not Canada. Why? Lower taxes. Faster approvals. Less bureaucracy. And a government that actually says “yes.”LeDrew breaks down the failure: • How a Canadian company was pushed out of its own country • Why officials claimed they “had no idea” • How endless bureaucracy and regulatory overlap are strangling investment • And why Canada’s productivity collapse is no longer theoretical - it’s happening in real timeA sharp, urgent commentary on how political inertia is destroying Canadian opportunity - and how we must stop it before more industries flee south.
