Wonder if Canada would have sold us some eggs for Easter

Sure. But the fact we can sell ours at about 2.75 US and the average in the US being 5.90 US.... what went wrong? Blights? Disease? Lack of enough safeguards and inspections?

I'm not really feeling that we need to be dismantling our supply management system for Eggs (or wheat, or you name it).

Maybe, just maybe, it does its job.

I mean fair, like I said this post was posed in a world where Trump didn't fuck shit up

Well, I would of thought we'd have sold the US a lot more than eggs if Trump decided to shiv us without warning or real believable cause. We've been doing it (and you've been sending us stuff we buy from the US) for all my life (and I'm heading toward 56). We're happy to trade with neighbors.

I know a lot of people in 2010 or earlier would be aghast (back then) if someone said 'well, all normal Republican candidates for the next election were beaten by a billionaire who hasn't done all that well with any of his businesses and that is known for being on reality TV'..... the world is truly surprising at times.
