I have an uncle who used to be in the Vermont statehouse. According to him, there's a lot of maple syrup that moves back and forth across the border between Quebec and Vermont, and is bottled in different plants depending on demand for one or the other.
Completely unconfirmed, but interesting nonetheless.
Pretty much confirmed. The Quebec federation of maple syrup is hiring security guards in some regions close to the border to ensure the quota system is respected by everyone (and not exported "illegally")
Completely unconfirmed, but interesting nonetheless.
