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 $2.25 last fall), Trump may need to request imports from countries he’s recently antagonized—particularly Canada, the largest U.S. egg importer, which Trump has threatened with tariffs and annexation.
Other potential egg suppliers (Netherlands, UK, China) have also faced Trump’s recent hostility through tariffs or threats.
Meanwhile, Turkey plans to export 420 million eggs to the U.S., but this represents less than 5% of monthly U.S. production.
most famines are manmade, exacerbated by a hostile or mismanaged government
I dont think USA will be getting eggs because Doug Ford just threatened to cut power that we we supply to the US due to the tariffs going into effect tomorrow.
good. let those fuckers that insist on supporting this Russian asset eat in the cold dark silence.
I didn’t support him. I am almost having an aneurysm every day from the lies and deceit that happen. Its going to suck for me and my family when we get the shitty end of the stick from all of this. HOWEVER, not only do I not blame any people or reps who would stand up to the cheeto mussolini but I encourage it. The only way the people who voted him in will learn is from how much it hurts.
I fear our country has fallen and will not be able to come back from it but I still have hope from our true allies.
If i was Canada leadership I would give eggs for 50% mineral rights and demand he say thank you and repeat he has no eggs over and over again.
Haha. Make him say Trudeau is his egg daddy
“JK, no eggs for Nazis!”
I hope Trudeau tells him to pound sand.
Dear Canada, as an American, please don’t send us any eggs. 77M+ people here need to face the FO part of FAFO.
At about 1,4$US for a dozen, why don’t you come visit instead?
Peanut fried fries, day fresh cheese curds, steaming thick chicken BBQ sauce with an over easy egg on top is worth the detour.
Been trying to get a visa and properly become Canadian ever since visiting and falling in love.
In time…
Been a couple times, would love to go again! Great food, nice people, great sights. Unfortunately, as a non-white person, leaving the States right now except for some permanent reason seems tenuous to me, and I’ve a family to consider.
Working on convincing everyone to move, but it’s tricky with jobs and pets and extended family kids…but we’ll see.
In the meantime, I’ve been buying eggs from local farmers directly for ~$5-$6 per dozen which is less than the store and half the time is basically a neighbor of mine.
What if we take our remaining eggs and force feed them to trump until he explodes. I would be willing to sacrifice my eggs for that
I’m thinking how he gets his protein has something to do with how putin controls him.
One of the oldest addages: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
The US is facing rising egg costs because their chicken farms are absolutely massive and susceptible to disease. Ironically a larget network of small farms results in stable prices.
This is a metaphor for all of capitalism.
Well said!
Trudeau should plan a meeting in Ottawa to sign the egg pact, then berate Trump’s ill-fitting suit and say that Canada will slap a 100% export tariff on eggs to the US unless Trump hands over Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
He won’t, because not even Trudeau is that big of an asshole.
“Canada is holding the egg cards! You’ve never once thanked Canada for our eggs!”
I might just move to Canada if he does that.
Sure, we have a golden citizenship for 20 millions (CAD, makes it cheaper for you). You’ll still be an immigrant tho, so expect our conservatives to tell you your DEI if you work and a parasite if you dont.
Trump Might Have to Ask Foes Like Trudeau for Emergency Eggs
Woah woah woah. Why the ever-loving fuck are they calling Trudeau a “foe”?! Are they just priming people to believe we’re enemies now so that when the inevitable invasion comes they feel justified?!
Language matters and this is yet another disgusting betrayal.
Of course Trudeau is a foe to Trump. Trudeau is still part of the free world and has not succumbed to the new Russian Empire.
Trudeau kinda is one of Trump’s foes though, isn’t he?
melania and trumps daughter doesnt seem to think so.
The entire remaining free democratic world is Trump’s foe now
More like Trump is their foe
No. We’re allies and good trading partners. If Trudeau is a “foe” then it’s only because Trump is making unrealistic demands of submission or being crushed.
The US is no ally of Canada. The US is currently allied with Russia and North Korea.
Trump’s foe. Canada is the US’s ally.
Trump’s America’s foe.
Are we? Really doesn’t feel like we’re allies these days
Trump’s voice is loud, bombastic, and belligerent, but rarely anchored in reality. There doesn’t seem to be any limits to how low he will go, but that doesn’t change realities like the worlds two largest trading partners, thousands of miles of unguarded border, a long history of cooperation and yes, friendship. Do what you have to to deal with Trumps BS and know that half the US will cheer you on and only hope you’ll give us the chance to make it up to you in four years
Exactly.
I think I’m the only one who remembers when Trudeau and Trump and Nieto signed that NAFTA agreement and Trump screwed up by signing in the wrong place and Trudeau covered for him to save him embarrassment. A very classy move that went completely unnoticed by a classless thug.
That’s what allies do.
…Ugh.
Trump is much more a foe to the US than Trudeau ever would be
Which is why being Trump’s foe ain’t a bad thing.
Common sense is trump’s foe… anyone with a lick of it is basically a sworn enemy
but not of the US. and trump represent the US. many people consume news by inferring from headlines. and a headline like this one reads the canada is a foe of the us
Trump might need to ask his Canadian neighbour Trudeau for emergency eggs.
Not we, the Daily Beast is one overly dramatic headline away from a tabloid.
Krasnov Trump’s foe due to threatening Trudeau with invasion,
Canada is not US foe.
Trudeau should provide eggs on these conditions:
- The egg cartons are labeled “a gift from your neighbors in Canada” with a flag on it
- The american flag isn’t featured anywhere on it
- Trump’s name and signature can’t be featured anywhere on it
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?
Upvote more!!!
Spoiled eggs from Turkey sounds like a great way to Make America Sick Again, LOL. Dear Canadians, Please post photos of your inexpensive eggs. Additionally, please post photos of all the items you use eggs to make. Fuck trump.
I actually do have a photo of Canadian eggs ($3.79 CAD is about $2.50 USD)
Where is that? Eggs $6 minimum in Victoria
This is a good idea. Fuck trump. Fuck the republican traitor filth.
It’s probably pasteurised eggs. And it’s probably not direct to consumer either. Lots of things have eggs in them and those eggs were probably bought in jugs or barrels rather than dozens.
I buy my eggs by the gallon.
I’ve seen Costco selling egg whites by the litre carton. Gallons wouldn’t be farfetched for restaurant supply.
Most food is made in factories, not homes or restaurants. Kinda gross.
I mean, yeah. We buy our eggs from a local farm. It’s pretty great, they deliver it straight to my partner’s workplace every week or two. Most eggs are torture-eggs, and we won’t buy the Costco egg whites on that basis. However, my point is that “eggs by the gallon” is not farfetched!
We kind of don’t need to post pictures— our grocery stores have their marked up prices on their website https://www.loblaws.ca/en/search?search-bar=eggs
Your website shows $17 for a thing of eggs and they’re out of stock.
30 eggs
Organic
About 10$ for the same thing if they’re not organic
Math is hard.
That’s a 30 count though. And presumably in CAD. Still more expensive than the pic posted. (EDIT pic posted elsewhere in this thread.)
Fuck em. I like inexpensive eggs and it’s not like they would send us shit if the shoe were on the other foot. Besides, we have a supply system and would effectively be subsidizing US exports with higher prices. So double fuck em.
Also… You don’t really need eggs. It’s not water or medicine or anything like that, they just need chicken periods because they nood something to gobble down beacon
What the fuck even is 2025 though
Americas fall into full blown fascism.
