So that's why the Canadian office had to close for today and Monday.  :hmm:

Man, the realtors are a bunch of lazy folk.

Franchise admin office is closed. I hope the realtors are earning money for the greater good.

we have (had) a strategic reserve? people are more serious about their pancakes then i thought :lol:
The Federation regularly keep barrels of maple syrup in stock to help keep the prices up.  Independant producers aren't allowed to sell (commercially) their products.  It kinda works like the OPEP, you know, so Malthus' title is close to the truth than he probably imagined :D

Meh, we're still far too reliant on foreign maple syrup.  Thank God Mittens has a plan to make us 100% maple syrup independent by 2020.

Oh yeah he is going to make us independent on coal and natural gas!  Because we import so much of that stuff.

Of course it was stolen.  They kept it in Quebec.

In the middle of the night with big trucks.  That was how Seedy had the Baltimore Colts stolen from him.
