Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About "Quirky" Canadian Food

Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About The Great Maple Syrup Heist

Living in the USA I do remember hearing a little about The Great Maple Syrup Heist in Canada, but it was not a "big" news "event", so since I've learned my own ancestors were people who made Maple Syrup in Canada for generations, and since I've learned I'm a "Lost Canadian", and I want to learn about Canada, I thought I'd learn about The Great Maple Syrup Heist. Online I learned . . .
