Ukraine gets permission to export eggs to Canada
Ukraine gets approval to export eggs to Canada
Until now, the U.S. was the only country allowed to export eggs to Canada. Decreasing stocks in the U.S. has prompted Canada to add Ukraine to the list.
But as many as possible and then turn around and sell them to US at crazy high prices! Malicious Capitalism!
Ukraine is at war, and they still have the ability to send eggs to canadia? is there anything Ukraine can't do?? #GoUkraine!
To any visitors to this thread from the future - yes, this was at the same time that Ukraine was engaged in a defensive war with Russia; and America was kicking out any foreigners it could while ruining the global economy with import taxes.
Crazy, sad times, these were.
Don't forget about the part where the US president floated the idea of selling all the gold in Fort Knox for Bitcoins. The word crazy isn't doing this timeline justice, imo.
tertiary syphilis, no?
Bold of you to assume the future will see this as the crazy times. I think its gonna be seen as the "when things still seemed fine" times.
!remindme a few centuries
Woo! We're getting eggs AND supporting Ukraine at the same time!
I have to wonder at the price of eggs, such that refrigerating and shipping them across an entire hemisphere is economically feasible. Wouldn't it make more sense to sell Ukrainian eggs in, like, Poland or Romania or Germany? And then sell Polish/Romanian/German eggs westward from there?
This seems less like "supporting Ukraine" and more like "spending a fortune on bulk shipping to avoid dealing with bird flu at home."
Because Polish farmers are bitching about Ukrainian imports into Poland decreasing local prices
Canada doesn't really have the same kind of massive factory farming practices that the US does, and the bird flu problem is already far more contained. I think this is mostly a show of support for Ukraine kind of thing.
Unwashed eggs don't need to be refrigerated. I would assume any washing would be done in Canada, as we're basically the only ones who do it, along with the US.
That's true. But maybe they transform them before shipping them? Like powdered eggs or things like that?
Ban eggs from US. They are chemically treated to destroy the protective layer. Most other countries don't do that, and their eggs don't even require fridge. .
edit. what's next? fluoride chicken, chlorine chicken.
They can't last outside of the fridge because the US strips the protective layer from the shells...
They are washed and sanitized, there's nothing wrong with it.
It's basically a wash (heh) between here and the EU method. In the EU you guys can leave out your eggs at room temp, but they go bad quicker. In the US they last longer, but refrigeration is required
As an American, I've honestly only ever had an egg go bad maybe once in my life. Even after like three weeks in the fridge, they're still fine.
They last long enough in room temp and never had them go bad. I never really measured the max length of time, but I buy 30 at a time and eat 0-2 per day, 2 on most days. half boiled.
So USA is eating Turkey eggs, and Canada is eating Crane eggs?
Make America Grovel Again
Now trump will have to get on his knees and beg for Ukrainian eggs via Canada with stiff tariffs on top. 5D chess.
It would be poetic if Ukraine gave eggs to Canada on the condition of not reselling it to the US, and make lifting it contingent on lifting weapons restrictions about using them in Russia.
Eggs for HIMARS missiles.
Why do we buy US eggs. Ours cost $3.94CAD a dozen
Canada is a net importer of eggs. If they didn't import, prices would be higher
Don't have time to read this but does it say why our eggs are so cheap if we are only importing them from the us?
Our eggs Our cheap because most of the supply is domestic, and our domestic supply is stable. The Ukrainian supply is replacing the US supply that is no longer available, and is going to commercial buyers, not store shelves.
U.S. is the only country (until now) that was allowed to export eggs to Canada. It doesn't really say if they actually ever sent us any amount. I'm guessing that before the egg crisis down south, they sent them to Vancouver or places with no egg farmers near.

Now that's a flex.
