Sorry Timmy, no maple syrup for your pancakes.
To: Loyalist
There’s a federation in canada that controls the market and keeps prices high. Apparently, high enough now to capture the attention of thieves. Not exactly, but somewhat comparable to excise taxes causing smuggling.

Wasn’t there a similar heist a couple of years ago?
To: Leep
Approximately 5000 gallons.
Each litre is approximately a quart.
Metri-sexual Europeans / Quebec’ers Socialists are burdened by Very high cost of living taxation.
The dears need to use down-sized measurement system in order to fool themselves that things are affordable.
Gas is sold by the litre (quart) and in Canada is currently priced at: $1.05/l ie: $4.00!
Cheese, meat, some produce is sold by the gram, ie: there’s 28 grams to the ounce.
EVERYTHING is So Damn expensive there due to disgusting taxation at every level of production.
But, they do have free health care! /s

To: fruser1
So the high cost of maple syrup isn’t the actual market cost? I assumed it was the true cost due to the amount of sap required to get syrup. It takes a lot of land and labor to produce syrup
