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.

Your overall gov’t tax burden is OUTRAGEOUS, ie: 50+% when you include the income tax, province & city taxes, no mortgage tax deduction at all, gov’t fees, fuel / gas tax, and the damned VAT tax at every production phase grossly drives up the final product price for the end consumer.

*Quebec City has lower cost of living than Montreal or Toronto. These are the current reported prices which I also found to be the case when there recently:
*Note: Meats and animal products have gone SKY HIGH likely due to Canada implementing social engineering initiative to make animal products too expensive to purchase, per outright UN recommendation!
500 gr (1 lb.) of boneless chicken breast C$8 <-!
1 liter (1 qt.) of whole milk C$1.85 <- $7/Gal!
12 eggs, large C$3.40!
1 kg (2 lb.) of tomatoes C$5.22
500 gr (16 oz.) of local cheese C$15 <-!
1 kg (2 lb.) of apples C$4.12
1 kg (2 lb.) of potatoes C$2.88
0.5 l (16 oz) domestic beer supermarket C$2.33
Canada - on the cutting edge of socialist social engineering, and proud of it, Eh.
*Groan*
CA universities (like McGill) are Soooo much cheaper because their professors and administrators work for peanuts - not!
Your schools are Heavily subsidized by Huge gov’t taxes which fool LIV’s into believing things are reasonable.
Poor slobs then bitch about how little they have left from their paychecks and savings to be able to afford cost of living, ie: food, fuel, consumer products.
