Summary
The Trump administration faces a dilemma as skyrocketing egg prices due to bird flu have forced Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to consider emergency imports.
With eggs now averaging $8 per dozen (up from $2.25 last fall), Trump may need to request imports from countries he’s recently antagonized—particularly Canada, the largest U.S. egg importer, which Trump has threatened with tariffs and annexation.
Other potential egg suppliers (Netherlands, UK, China) have also faced Trump’s recent hostility through tariffs or threats.
Meanwhile, Turkey plans to export 420 million eggs to the U.S., but this represents less than 5% of monthly U.S. production.
Trudeau should provide eggs on these conditions:
Then send Trump the agreement for signature. Points #2 and #3 are obvious things to leave off a carton of eggs, until you tell Trump he can’t have them, then they’ll become a critical issue blocking his signature. Then go on Twitter and Truth Social and say “We have 2 billion eggs ready for you guys and Trump is refusing to let us send them” and let the shitstorm follow.
I was gonna suggest something more snide but yeah, just a friendly Canadian gesture would probably go further
Also insist that Trump has never thanked Canada.
Maybe add requirement that Ukrainian aid be increased over 2024 level too.
All the shells should be stamped with the maple leave.
I like it, then you could make a black market for eggs, and people could conspicuously post that they acquired the coveted eggs through illicit means.
We should make this an online thing even if it doesn’t happen. Imagine ai news popping up with stories of black market eggs from Canada!
A new market for Canadian Online Coopery?
