Comment dites on "insurance fraud" en francais?
Crisse Merde Tabernacle, c'est beaucoup Sirop d'erable, non?

If true, it's certainly a very Canadian crime

Christ, ****, tabernacle, why do you use those terms???

are you so poor in vocabulary, please go to night school...

Federation is an union, related to Qc Government, and insurance is Financiere Agricole, another gov. Agency...

I meant it only to be funny.
My pea brain didn't take into account our Quebec forum members.
Please accept my apology if you were offended.
I also don't need a scolding about night school from a stranger on the internet, thank you very much.

Just had a friend send this to me. Totally nuts, if the warehouse was cleaned out we're talking 900,000 gal of syrup! That's gotta be most of the reserve I'd think?

If they are estimating 30 million dollars in syrup then that is about 100,000 gallons, Which over time would be able to be done. If it is 100,000 gallons thats about 15 to 17 trailer loads. Even though they check it doesn't mean they check to see if the barrels had anything in them. All they would have to do is leave the outside of the rows with syrup in them and stack the empty barrels behind them. If they knew when they check the warehouse they could easily do this.

Halfast tapper - I think you're off by a zero. At $30/gallon wholesale that would be a millions gallons of syrup missing. Even less likely to have walked away!

Whoops! There goes my awesome math skills again. Sorry.

There certainly are lots of rumurs going round about this. I keep hearing it was 1 tanker load and that is more plausable than the whole warehouse empty. I can't figure out why as soon as the police finished collecting evidence at the scene(assuming they did) why wouldn't the Federation have a crew in there imediately to determine how much syrup was missing. Any other business would want to know whether they were missing 1 load or 50 loads asap.

I heard that it was 1500 55 gallon drums missing.

Reportedly, a large amount of the syrup has been discovered south of the porder by the Quebec Provincial Police: http://www.laterre.ca/alimentation/d...pCTZI.facebook

a litle translation from the french article:
"U.S. authorities have denied the Sûreté du Québec to take this syrup pretext that "weaken U.S. companies."
