I've found the stuff and it was in fact proposed as a boycott of Anglo-
USAian products. By a cruel twist of fate, Canada is still part of the
Commonwealth and has the Queen as the head of state.

However, that being said, we don't care if we don't export maple syrup.
We certainly don't export our best stuff, but the thicker, sweeter glop
foreigns seem to favour for some reason which is still unfathomable to
us. This even holds for Western Canada where is it nigh impossible to
find clear maple syrup.

No accounting for taste, eh?
