If this temporary rise in egg prices is the leverage Canada has on the US then Canada is in a bad spot.

This document outlines many of Trumps talking points and actions, enough so that I believe it is Trumps plan, and I don't think these tariff are going away.
When you've built up over 100% of government federal/provincial debt on the back of unfettered access to the US market you're entirely at their whims, and as 80% of exports go to the US Canada is about to get a massive hike in inflation as its FX falls off a cliff, causing a shock to one of the largest housing bubbles on the planet, causing the money supply to contract, which will cause stagflation.
Which is when the US will politely ask for Canada to become part of the US, when we are in a deep depression as we scramble to perform austerity as people are losing their jobs. Considering this happens next week it could be insane to watch, and I am unlucky enough to have a front row seat.
Canada has a lot more leverage than eggs.
The US is much better prepped to withstand the storm but he's not going to be able to exacerbate America's cost of living crisis indefinitely and it isn't just tariffs on Canada that will be driving that.
If he puts tariffs in then it means less USD available globally, which will increase the value of the dollar to offset the cost imposed by the tariffs, would it not?
He then uses the funds to cut corporate taxes, which will decrease goods prices lowering the CPI basket.
I'd say not being ruled by a babyllionaire nazi that bankrupt casinos and not having 2/3 of our population being under-educated lazy-ass losers is our main advantage over US right now.
Education is great if you're paid for it. We also aren't any more productive, we have like half the investment per worked than the US.
We also destroy the poor here via the housing crisis.
Education is great and free in Quebec, not sure about the roc.
Wages are still lower on median.
The subject is education....
