Why doesn't the US just produce more eggs? Hell Trump could even strong arm the existing egg cartel and throw them in jail and nationalize egg production so that it's more resilient (this isn't a complicated concept, it's only not done because it cost more money). If you are going to be a fascist, at least feed your people.

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.
most famines are manmade, exacerbated by a hostile or mismanaged government
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
I hope Trudeau tells him to pound sand.
"JK, no eggs for Nazis!"
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.
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...

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.

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.

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!"

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
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
Maybe add requirement that Ukrainian aid be increased over 2024 level too.
Also insist that Trump has never thanked Canada.

I hope Canada puts a 100% tariff on eggs to the USA, get those egg prices up to $1.50 per egg.
