New York, NY (CNN)Amid shortages, Canada is tapping into its strategic reserves. This time, for maple syrup.

Yeh, kind of a strange set up that maple syrup reserve. About ten years ago some highly organized thieves stole about 18 million worth of maple syrup from it.

Not that Americans are lying awake at night worrying about a maple syrup embargo but on most years the U.S. is a net exporter of maple syrup. Vermont, Maine, and New York produce a lot of maple syrup. Enough to take care of the American market. But Canada is the big exporter globally, because well, it's Canada.

A barrel of maple syrup (in the summer anyway) was trading at about 2000USD. More in loonies of course. That's high priced crude right theya. The future is precarious though. Lots of invasive stuff doing a serious number on the maple trees along with allegations that climate change is part of the problem. The trees are under a lot of new stress and it is showing bigtime.

Perhaps if I were one, then I'd be able to knock some sense into you.

That Hotez guy is sort of a rent-a-whore in the medical community.

Both Fox and the lefty networks use him and he spins out some tripe to support whatever trip the network host is on. I have seen him on fox, and then I see him over in lefty village and think "whoa, is this the same guy." Everybody got a gig going I guess. Gotta keep yourself well positioned to hustle your book everywhere when it comes out.
