You know, if the US was still friends with Canada and Mexico, they might have shared their eggs.

Good old Trump. Burning bridges in front of him.

    What’s the point of exporting eggs across an ocean for what I imagine would be astronomical in-store prices, to a country whose idiot throws tariffs on everyone without warning?

    I’m in Prince Edward Island Canada where food prices are normally a bit higher. Generic eggs cost about $5 for 12. The same store in Vancouver sells these for $3.93. I don’t buy a ton of eggs from regular stores, but I don’t think this prices has changed much in the last couple of years.

    Personally, I get my eggs from a local farm for $5 a dozen.

      Just tell them Mexico has cheaper eggs and when they turn their backs, you make them your 14th province (or however that’s called) and have Trump arrested by the Mounties 😄

        Honestly, I don’t want any states to be part of Canada. Not at least until the Americans in those states undergo some deprogramming.

        American’s have some crazy fucked up views on how the world works. Things like guns are a “god given right” and more guns in a society makes that society safer. We don’t need that insanity in Canada.
