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

When sorry ends I hate to be a bother begins.

They could invade Maine which would kick off the Maple wars. They’ll start to eye Vermont and New Hampshire next. The US population will be powerless to resist as the Canadians lull the domestic population into submission with free healthcare and Tim Hortons.

Take away my Krispy Kreme and then you’ll find out the true meaning of war.

Honestly, Canada could take everything north of a line between Pittsburg, NH and Calais, ME (essentially lining up with the NY/VT northern border), and nobody would bat an eye. There’s nothing but trees up there.

Deal. You guys get Alberta and Saskatchewan. Then they can secede with Texas and a handfull of the bible belt states.

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world on 25 Mar 2024 08:12 collapse

they can keep the Tim Hortons, though.

I’ll take the free healthcare.

I suggest you let that one marinate

just because they’re heroes, doesn’t mean they’re not assholes.

I mean, they pretty much had the same solution as a Marvel Super Hero. (and the same rate of collateral deaths, probably.)

To quote the Frank Zappa song Titties 'n Beer: That’s very very true.

the last time they stopped saying sorry, we’ve had to write the geneva convention

Just in time to overthrow the US Whitehouse… Again. We burned it down once before, we’ll do it again

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.

Unless you’re an elf baking cookies, we all live outside of maple trees :-D

Wait, Canadians don’t love in maple trees?

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world on 25 Mar 2024 08:10 next collapse

no no, no. they’re hobits. the maple trees are ontop of their mounds.

They love on them. Tap that bark.

The Maple Mafia has reserve reserves.

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.

I saw a documentary that claims the people who run the maple cartel have like a decades worth in warehouses

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?
