RECOVERING SOME OF THE STOLEN MAPLE SYRUP.
RECOVERING SOME OF THE STOLEN MAPLE SYRUP. I posted here a month ago about the theft of 15,000 barrels of maple syrup from a warehouse in Quebec. The empty barrels were left behind. As this report describes, the police have now seized 700 to 800 barrels of maple syrup from a New Brunswick exporter. The maple syrup that was seized would have been only about 5% of the missing maple syrup, yet a convoy of 16 trailers was required to carry that 5% back to Quebec. There are political overtones to the events. The theft was from “a global strategic maple syrup reserve”, and, according to this report, a spokesperson for the New Brunswick exporter said that she “suspected the raid was triggered by provincial rivalries.”
