Ottawa to give mining giant BHP up to $100 million to cut emissions at Jansen potash project

The announcement came at a press conference in Jansen, Saskatchewan — east of Saskatoon — where Champagne was joined by BHP’s chief executive Mike Henry, who flew in from Australia.

“Not only is it going to be the largest potash mine in the world, but it is going to be the greenest,” Champagne said at the press conference.

Who’s the next lucky winner, Cameco or Orano?

Coryjankoski Sure not much for details on what will be done. Most of potash mining operations are already electric. Some natural gas is used for heat in the milling process. Also worth noting much of Sask's electricity comes from burning natural gas and coal.

Let me fix the headline for you: Tax Payers to give mining giant BHP up to $100 million to cut emissions at Jansen potash project.

And feds have trouble finding money for clean water for indigenous peoples. If some cases the water was polluted by mining companies…

Gross misallocation of resources.

I know it's tough feeding your family at the moment, but thank you peasants for giving this foreign company a hundred million dollars. 'Ottawa' is not footing the bill.

Good lord. If we have all this extra dough laying around how’s about we CUT TAXES for the time being and get back to this climate stuff once people aren’t going broke

Socialism for the rich, cut throat capitalism for the rest.

I’d like a citizen vote for when we subsidize corporations anything above 1 million.

I’m sure they’ll pass the savings onto the farmers. Lol Potash is at an all time high and they have the nads to accept government handouts. JHC

Charge your citizens CARBON TAX and then handout 100 million to a company to cut emissions!!!! YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!!! Who can stop them?

We're the largest potash producing country on the planet, and still somehow need to subsidize massive corporations to do it?

Giving money to mining giants.

Is potash a combination of pot & hash?

Putin the free, in Free Enterprise since 1867.

Great! I was really hoping the carbon taxes I'm paying on everything would be used to subsidize Australian miners operating in Canada. 🤡🤡🤡 The additional energy and food inflation is so worth it to help out BHP /s
