    I hesitate to think what Canadians will do once the step runs dry. They might stop saying sorry altogether.

      When sorry ends I hate to be a bother begins.

      They could invade Maine which would kick off the Maple wars. They’ll start to eye Vermont and New Hampshire next. The US population will be powerless to resist as the Canadians lull the domestic population into submission with free healthcare and Tim Hortons.

        they can keep the Tim Hortons, though.

        I’ll take the free healthcare.

        Honestly, Canada could take everything north of a line between Pittsburg, NH and Calais, ME (essentially lining up with the NY/VT northern border), and nobody would bat an eye. There’s nothing but trees up there.

          Deal. You guys get Alberta and Saskatchewan. Then they can secede with Texas and a handfull of the bible belt states.

    I make syrup out of the tree(s) in my yard.

    It’s true. It was such a weird year weather wise that I only got about 2 bottles of syrup. Normally I can get like… 8-10?

    A lot of people don’t really know how sap production works, but it really is a pretty limited window

    That being said, if you live outside of a maple tree (or some other kinds), go buy a $20 tap or whatever from Amazon. It’s fun and surprisingly piss easy to make syrup at home.

    All good, Legault seems to think we can survive off of replacing the roof on our piece of shit stadium, no need to fix the environment.

    IIRC, the big drop from 2020 to 2021 was due to “inventury corrections”, i.e. someone has “mislaid” large amounts and they had to correct to official amount.

    Has the culprit been found?
