The Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve

Canada maintains a Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve in Quebec, with 77,000 barrels. Created in 2000 by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, this stockpile regulates the syrup supply and prices. In 2012, thieves pulled off a daring heist, stealing syrup worth $18 million in what became known as the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. 🍯

'Others wrote to us to say they can't ever see themselves ever going back to buying U.S. goods or travelling to the country again.

'"I may never shop again without making sure it's a Canadian product," Garry Semple told CBC News.

'"I get angrier the more this goes on."

'Rita Bailey told us something similar.

'"I am 75 and I can't see this changing for the duration of my life. I won't back down and I pray that our leaders won't either," she said.'

They do this super fun activity in my town where they gather up as many #canoe and #kayak paddlers as possible into the world's tallest #liftlock. Its a very simple concept, but also a lot of fun to watch; hundreds of people packed like sardines into a #water elevator for boats having a little party together.

I hate posting things that identify exactly where I live but in the era of Rainbolt I suppose that ship has sailed.

The Better Screw: A Canadian Grip

In 1908, Canadian P. L. Robertson invented the square-socketed screw to prevent 'cam-out'—the slipping that plagues other screw types. This superior grip made it highly efficient. While the Phillips head became more common globally, the Robertson screw remains widely preferred in Canadian construction and manufacturing for its reliability. #Canada#Innovation#Invention#Tools

The Trump's administration's bigotry towards trans/nb folx is now legally recognizable as a reason for Americans to be granted immigration consideration in Canada. This is de facto recognition of asylum claims. Meanwhile Americans have already begun to claim asylum, with cases working their way through the system. Canada accepts 250 annual LGBTQ+ asylum claims from various countries, but the US is a new source for claims.
