I for one am glad to have Canada as a neighbor I feel very safe going over the border as I have done many times as opposed to the border to our south where a lot of nasty things go on i.e. the drug cartel I've met a lot of Canadians at NASCAR races and they are great people Last year at Martinsville two young couples were camping next to us and we got to know them over several games of beer pong! You mentioned Oil and clean water I'll add electricity and natural gas also when I buy steel it seems to always come from Canada as well as wood products We are all in this Maple gig together so let's market our product to the rest of the world and we will all reap the benefits of the fruits of our labor

Very well said, and behalf of all Canadians thankyou for your kind words. I understand peoples frustration when their business is negatively impacted by factors beyond their control but I really don't think it's necessary to make ignorant and misinformed comments about each other's country. As you said, we are all in this together.

been to Canada once and personal experience with a few dancers wasn't the best, as soon as they found out we didn't speak French they stopped coming to our table.
well just pissed we bust our butts (now I know how farmers feel) to make a quality product and dont get paid what its worth, and I heard yesterday "some one" has set the price of bulk for two years out, true or not I don't know.

I'm curious if anyone knows if US maple syrup can be commercially imported into Canada like theirs is here in the US. I know the US has quotas on certain things being imported into the US such as dairy and I've been wondering if they have something similar in regards to maple syrup.

Yes, maple syrup can and does go across the border in both directions.

We sold our syrup Sat. Prices for grade A $2.30 other grades much lower. I had read No more goop, but on the posted notice still saw they are taking fermented. Ugh.
On a call to Bascom's this morning, they said that the bulk price would not be set for another month by the Quebec Federation. Bascom's is presently buying all Grade A @ $2.35/lb. and any other grade @ $2.00/lb. delivered.

Has anyone heard if the bulk price for syrup for 2015 has been set? I have customers waiting for payment for sap I purchased.
