If Trump halts maple syrup imports from Canada can Vermont cover the shortage and House of Pancakes survive?.?

Maple Syrup is out of the reach of most restaurants. It's mostly flavored corn syrup. So just what is the point here?

I seriously doubt any chain restaurant serves real maple syrup. Have you seen the prices on maple syrup these days? When I was last in New Brunswick (long time ago) we bought a tiny bottle and ate it over a few days on bread. It was so good! You forget how good the real thing is when you just have maple-flavored syrup.

I'm surprised to learn we make more maple syrup than the country with the maple leaf on its flag! What we really import from Canada is oil and gas and softwood lumber. We need all those things a lot more than we need maple syrup.

The US produces more maple syrup than Canada. Michigan produces maple syrup too, as well as some other states. Besides, I'm pretty sure all those pancake places serve corn syrup that has been dyed and artificially flavored to imitate maple syrup.

Maple trees require a cold spell for the syrup to run. Global warming has drastically reduced maple syrup production and Trump doesn't believe in global warming.

What a conundrum.

im pretty sure that trump isnt going to stop the import of maple syrup products from canada..

He isn't halting maple syrup imports

If he stops imports from CHINA , It will STOP his CLOTHING Line from being sold in this country .......

. Now maple syrup Will profit VERMONT , the price will increase they produce 42 % what we use the USA produces 3.17 MILLION gallons in 2014

Canada produced 7.8 million gallons in 2012 Down from 8.5 Million gallons in 2011 .

..actually Canada's top 10 exports are

OIL $ 78 Billion

VEHICLES $ 60 Billion

MACHINES ENGINES PUMPS $ 31 Billion

GEMS & precious metals $ 19 Billion

ELECTRONICS $ 13 Billion.

Plastics

PHARMACEUTICALS $ 47 Billion

and ORGANIC CHEMICALS .............

one might have to go with BUTTER and WHIPPED CREAM and actual FRUIT jams and Jelly

Oh sure. The House of Pancakes have all you can eat pancakes right now. They are sure to have a franchise on maple syrup.

There are a few states which can be considered "basically Canada" and VT is one of them. The solution for the Canadian satellite republic of Vermont would be to annex it.

Pretty useless state if you think about it. Very one dimensional
