“Strategic Maple Syrup Reserves” at a 16-year low.
Many countries keep strategic reserves of essential commodities: petroleum, seeds, grain, uranium, medical supplies, etc. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Canada is the only country that considers maple syrup an essential commodity.
I can’t rate this any higher than fifth for total Canadianess since I’ve been collecting these. My picks for the top four are as follows:
Number 4: “Authorities seize 12 tons of beaver penises” with a street value of $24 million. This one turned out to be fake news.
Number 3: “Try not to let moose lick your car”
Number 2: “Man uses hockey stick to herd beaver out of traffic”
At number 1, and very hard to topple from the summit: “Woman hits moose on way to visit sister who hit moose”
