They could moderate the price for eggs if they wanted. Tariffs on fertilizer will matter in the medium term, so they should have exempted those. Price supports on eggs have a history in the New Deal, so the politics of that will need a facelift to prevent associations with mid-century Democrats.

For an economically smarter tariff response from Canada, rather than 25% on US imports, we could have put in export tariffs to equalize everything at 25%, so e.g. 15% on energy and whatever theoretical amount on fertilizer to bring it up also to 25%.
