Why does Canada have a Maple syrup reserve in the first place?

[Sahara]

HEY!!
That's actually an absolutely true statement, you know.
Everyone else has the damn "accent", not us.

On the subject at hand, the wife and I both are syrup "snobs" and insist on Canadian maple....
but that stuff has gone all $$$$ down this way (even Vermont stuff has, too) and we can't justify it
anymore. I miss it....

It’s expensive here, too.
It’s like when I went to Scotland figuring I’d load up on cheap scotch. Turns out that expensive scotch here is also expensive scotch there.

Are they holding it back for some reason?

Why not ?

Russia had a butter mountain in the 1980's.

Hey, maybe they should get together....over pancakes.

If you want 'cheap' Scotch...you go to a bar in Spain....they water it down.

We have prime rib down here, which is much more satisfying.

 

[Hey-O]

I always thought Canada was only good for 2 things... hockey and maple syrup. Can't for the life of me think of anything else.

Frostbite!! I still have fingers that start to tingle when it gets cold outside from living there as a kid.

On a serious note, I only buy REAL maple syrup from Vermont or Canada. I put it in my oatmeal to make my own MAYPO !!

I have my own vault..LOL, I make my own, the Canadian thing to do. My uncle has been at it for years, and was trying to pass it down to the next generation. I have been at it for the past 5 years, when the sap starts to run, you know spring is right around the corner..

 

[Dave6T4]

Yeah? Well what about those F’in Newfies?

Those "Newfie's" are good folks. When 2001, 9, 11 happened and all incoming flights to U.S. were grounded, about 60 airliners were routed to Gander, Nfld. The area housed, fed, and clothed about 6500 "guests" for a week before flights resumed. A stage play called, "Come From Away" was made about the incident. We went to Toronto to see it when it played there. It was very well done.

The only thing worth buying from Canada is Alberta Oil from those devils from the west in country.

New made in Canada dodge Challengers are a nice product too.

I have had great syrup from New York State, we purchased it in the Adirondacks.
