I wonder if real maple syrup is much cheaper in Canada
Yes.
From what I understand, most US groceries just don't carry real maple syrup, and every grocery store here does, at $8-10 a can in season. It's cheaper if you go straight to the sugar shack.
True story: the most valuable heist in Canadian history involved 3000 tons of syrup, valued at C$18.7 million, stolen over the course of several months from a strategic maple syrup reserve in Quebec.
does canada have a syrup disaster story like america's molasses murders
Not that I'm aware of?
I do really like that the reason they were caught when they were is they got lazy - they had been taking barrels, removing the syrup and replacing it with water, and then putting it back. Eventually they just started siphoning off the syrup there on site and leaving the barrels empty. When an inspector was climbing during the annual inventory, the empty barrels did not bear his weight the way 600lb full ones would, causing him to nearly fall.
I would like to know how you fence three thousand tons of stolen maple syrup, who is willing to buy maple syrup in bulk that fell off a truck as it were
There are llllloads of maple farms in Quebec that are both big enough to afford it and small enough that they would, that would've bought that syrup at a criminal bargain and sold it to groceries and visitors at regular price.
Also considering the syrup is worth WAY more in the US, and a lot of the maple production is located less than an hour from the border, there's probably some actual worth-the-risk money to be made there.

The Great Molasses Flood was a nearly one-of-a-kind disaster. They fucked damn near everything up for that confluence of events to happen.
I say nearly because there was that big Honolulu molasses spill a few years back, and I reckon the London Beer Flood was pretty similar as well, although I'm not nearly as well read on that one.

I have chosen to believe that Clifford Blossom didn't just get rich off selling drugs, he was also fencing stolen maple syrup.
Yeah sweet maple sap specifically comes from the sugar maple, which is indigenous to Canada. It's one item on the very long list of things Europeans learned from the people who already lived here and then turned into a massive industry.
I am fairly certain no one on Waypoint has had a good turkey. No one in their right mind would call brining a fad that made the texture spongey while also complaining that it's always dry and only good for putting gravy on.
Patrick pitches that Link is the potential first step in an eventual Super Nintendo Maker, where instead of Mario Maker 3 they make a Maker-game that mashes up franchises like Kirby, Zelda, Metroid and Mario and incorporates characters and mechanics from those games in a unified 2D format.

Sap comes out too
but it doesn't taste like maple syrup
it probably has SOME sugar in it but that's like asking that about any other tree
Haven't seen too many oak syrup cans on the shelves
