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.
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)
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
