Increase in Canadian egg consumption?
With the tariff threats and bird flu impacting American mega bird farms and driving prices up for them, I'm curious. Has Schadenfreude and more affordable eggs in Canada increased our typical egg consumption? Anyone know where such stats would be found?

Perhaps American tourists are buying Canadian eggs and smuggling them back home. Wouldn't be worth the trip across just for that, but if you're already there...
I was legit talking to someone about selling eggs to Americans.
A dozen here is still like $3 CAD for large eggs. More for the fancy stuff.
Over there they are selling them as singles because they are so damn expensive now. $10 USD for a dozen.
With exchange at around 30%
That's like 400+% ROI.
I've been making eggs Benny because eggs are so cheap I might as well use a few of them on just the sauce to accompany my eggs.
I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have at least one egg each day. As a family of four, we will typically go through three dozen eggs each week.
I've always been an egghead, but I'd be lying if I said all the talk about eggs lately hasn't made me more of one. For me it's not about schadenfreude but to do with conditioning. It's not unusual for me to just eat a dozen boiled eggs in one sitting!
