    I hesitate to think what Canadians will do once the step runs dry. They might stop saying sorry altogether.

    I make syrup out of the tree(s) in my yard.

    It’s true. It was such a weird year weather wise that I only got about 2 bottles of syrup. Normally I can get like… 8-10?

    A lot of people don’t really know how sap production works, but it really is a pretty limited window

    That being said, if you live outside of a maple tree (or some other kinds), go buy a $20 tap or whatever from Amazon. It’s fun and surprisingly piss easy to make syrup at home.

    All good, Legault seems to think we can survive off of replacing the roof on our piece of shit stadium, no need to fix the environment.

    IIRC, the big drop from 2020 to 2021 was due to “inventury corrections”, i.e. someone has “mislaid” large amounts and they had to correct to official amount.

    Has the culprit been found?
