Police in Quebec have another maple syrup heist on their hands.
First, there was the Great Maple Syrup Heist of 2011-2012, in which $18 million worth of the sweet sap went missing.
Then, earlier this week, thieves made off with 20,000 litres of Quebec's sweetest export, worth an estimated $150,000, from a storage facility near Montreal's Trudeau airport in Dorval.
abuzz Alfredo Monaco, a vice-president at Mexuscan Cargo, said the thieves broke into the warehouse and stole a shipping container loaded with 20 pallets of Kirkland brand one-litre bottles of syrup.
The syrup was destined for the Japanese market.
The company is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the syrup's recovery.

I was once assigned to a maple sausage theft, but I couldn’t find any links.
More than 5000 gallons.
Coincidentally, last night my husband pulled a quart jar of maple syrup out of our pantry that he made with our pastor 35 years ago. (We lived on the Wisconsin/Michigan border and our pastor lived on 80 acres in rural Wisconsin. Our pastor could do anything. He even built his own canon.) He was wondering if it would still be good. Maybe you would know?
Need more coffee......
Just what I thought. You beat me to it.
Maple syrup is prone to mold if not “canned”
If it is canned and the jar lids are intact, it is likely good
the way to tell is taste it
Here's a nice article on it:
NYT: International Canadian Maple Syrup Producers Clash With Law
The metric system was actually foisted upon us by Trudeau the Elder. It is sooo European and has the added bonus of making comparisons with the past more difficult (see Orwell, 1984)
"Gas is sold by the litre (quart) and in Canada is currently priced at: $1.05/l ie: $4.00!"
Actually .91 a litre Canadian today. Works out to US$2.81. The difference is taxes.
"Cheese, meat, some produce is sold by the gram, ie: there’s 28 grams to the ounce."
You can buy it by the pound or the kilo.
"EVERYTHING is So Damn expensive there due to disgusting taxation at every level of production."
Taxes are higher in Canada (not corporate taxes) but as for things being "so damn expensive". I don't think so. I'm going to Kroger today so I'll let you know.
There are some things that are A LOT cheaper in Canada. You can get a four year University education here for about $25,000 in tuition, total. That's $6,000 A YEAR, but most Americans don't want to hear about that. Strangely, both of my kids graduated and are working in Michigan. Seems to be a shortage of engineers and nurses in the US.
Yes indeed

SWEET!
Check the union airline workers, I suspect those pallets were simply rerouted.
Got it! Big sale of Kirkland maple syrup at Costco this month ...
Yes it’s still good!
Sugar is a preservative!......
They’re planning a sticky bomb.
