It makes sense to me, LOL! I use it in almost everything including haamburgers.

To
stabilize inflate prices.
P.S. This is why Quebec will never secede from Canada. That province has a lot of idiotic nonsense like this that it would never be able to sustain if it were on its own.

Good idea. Hopefully Tennessee has a Strategic Jack Daniels Reserve. In the event of an emergency.

Because the maple leaf is on their flag.

To stabilize [inflate] prices.
I guess a better word would have been: "manipulate", but inflate really is the goal.
And thanks again - always enjoy your Canadian perspectives.

Hopefully Tennessee has a Strategic Jack Daniels Reserve. In the event of an emergency. Indeed, they do. There is a seven-year supply of JD stored in oaken barrels, sitting in bonded warehouses all around Lynchburg.
Personally, I'm anticipating an emergency, oh, around 5:15 this afternoon.

It’s because government bureaucrats need to do something in order to justify their useless jobs and inflated salaries, that’s why.

No. But I’m going to guess that if you can get sap for syrup it won’t be sweet

“Birch sap is also used commercially for syrup.”
At first read I thought that said “b!tch slap.” Couldn’t figure out where that fit into the syrup making process...

Anybody ever try tapping non-sugar maples? Yes, we have red maples and have tapped them 3-4 times in the last ten years.
The ratio is 60:1 sap:syrup, not 40:1 like a sugar maple.
The taste is not quite as sweet as a sugar maple, but it's still good.
