Canada produces its own maple syrup. In fact, they produce 85% of the worlds maple syrup. When Canadians learned they were importing maple syrup from America they protested, called for a boycott and demanded the importations be halted..
Next thing you know, the Chicago mafia will be smuggling maple syrup across the border.
The US must have had a better grade or price. Canada tries to protect their citizens from other nations hurting their economy yet they and lefties get upset when the US tries to do the same. Interesting isn’t it.
