Stolen Maple Syrup Found and Returned To Strategic Reserve

Posted by samzenpus on from the pancakes-for-everyone dept.

First time accepted submitter bmxeroh writes "Remember the tragic maple syrup heist? Police have seized more than 600 barrels of maple syrup they say are related to the missing syrup. It was transported back to Quebec via a 16 tractor trailer, heavily guarded (and presumably heavily armed) convoy Wednesday."

    Ah yes, the ever expanding "strategic Reserve" of maple syrup. This reserve is all about keeping the price of syrup as high as possible = lots does not sell. When the crop is low, they let the price rise and also sell a little from the reserve to fund the process. This much like the price control they exert over chickens, eggs, milk and cheese, by so called marketing boards that do not allow competition = we all pay more.
