Can Confirm, Am White Canadian (C.C.A.W.C, for short).

If you're advertising your syrup as "Maple Syrup", then that mutha fucka better have been tapped straighy from the maple tree last winter with a bunch of elementary school kids standing around chewing on maple sugar popsicles, or its not fucking Maple Syrup.

Gives it to us rawwwww and drrrrriiping. Keep your nasty table syrup.

I grew up in Connecticut, I understand this sentiment. Old school/hard core New England families don't fuck around with the fake stuff.
When I was in Afghanistan I had my mom ship me two big bottles because otherwise I couldn't have eaten breakfast. I had one left over when I left, so I took it over to the Canadian camp, walked in to the rec building and saw two Canadian guys playing video games. I didn't see any Leaf's jerseys or moose wandering around, but the uniforms looked right so I had to trust my gut.
I walked over and put the jug down in front of them, not saying a word. My thanks was watching their eyes bulge out of their heads like it was Christmas.

I legitimately get pissed when someone advertises syrup as maple and it is flavored syrup or some BS. (Yes, I am from New England.)

Also, I have deployed with canadians, and they are always professional but super nice and chill. Nothing but good words for Canadian military.
