Does it mean it is 67% by weight or content pure maple sugar when boiled down to a finished product? (without having anything added?)

Yeah - literally all they're doing is evaporating off water from the sap until they hit 67% by weight. I don't have problems with requiring labeling for products that actually do add sugar, but including products with naturally occurring sugar seems a stretch.

That’s what thought. I just don’t understand why they want them to put that on labels for pure products, which is what they want to do!

This appears to be aimed at reducing people’s sugar intake, which is a concept the government has no business being in. I abhor them telling people what they can and cannot eat.

I am okay with the manufacturing notice, if needed. But geez, if it IS, can’t they have half a brain about it?
