Re: [Serious] National Emergencysaid by HELLFIRE:quote:
the cartel has been forced to tap a whopping 50 million pounds of syrup from its strategic reserve. That’s the most the group has released from the reserve in a single season since 2008 and amounts to about half of the entire stockpile.
Canada doesn't (yet) have a Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but we do have a Strategic Maple Reserve. Priorities, priorities... [/joke] [/sarcasm] [/cynical] Thanks for the smile of the day this put on my face  Regards Again we make ourselves the laughing stock of the world. |

Quebec power was never about the Montreal Expos, but rather about the Maple Syrup Outflows. |

They are the 30,000 pound gorilla in the room - the others are merely a blip. |
