1. Vermont needs to come up with a "Canah Dienne" syrup brand.

4. From a Canadian I am related to, I sense they are pretty snobby about the

perceived superiority of their syrup up there, in fact.

3. I thought we loved Vertmont...

5. If you look quick, you miss it. I did.

7. I am more interested in the whiskey marmalade.

9. It's Vertmont, not Vermont

But that would cause confusion at first glance.

10. So they Canadians are being quite sneaky.

Vermont maple syrup must be a protected trademark name.

12. Yes, Green Mountain, I caught that.

I presume that was the sneaky part. Like the "Made in USA(, Japan)" Urban Legend(?) from the eighties.

11. When I was a kid

My Uncle Luther who lived in Niagara falls, loved Canadians, but he also had a wicked sense of humor. He would refer to them as "sneaky Canadians", because it was such a ridiculous idea.

It looks like he was right.

He also coined the phrase "I thought they'd never leave", when a beloved family member left after a visit. He always said it under his breath just loud enough for the subject to hear. In my extended family it has since become the customary thing to say when relatives head for home after a visit, usually shouted in unison.
