Forest Veins & The Maple Cartel

In this episode we dive deep into the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist, exploring the key players, how the heist went down, and the effects it had on Canada both economically and culturally. We break down how the “Maple Cartel” operates in Canada, controlling close to 80% of the world’s maple syrup supply. The conversation also touches on conspiracy theories involving possible mafia ties, and media involvement. Quite possibly our most Canadian episode to date.
