The Great Maple Syrup Heist of 2012

from Everything But The Cats · host Everything But The Cats

When you think of Canada what comes to mind? Large antlered animals (moose)? Ice hockey? Poutine?! How about maple syrup? Canada produces the overwhelming majority of the world's maple syrup, and Quebec specifically produces about 77% of it. And in 2012, with mounting tensions, some good planning, and a bit of a capitalistic spark, at least 17 men worked together to pull off the most expensive (and Canadian) heist in the country's history. Stay tuned for the whole story, and if you like this kind of content let us know so we can keep making more of it. 00:21 - Intro 06:47 - Background and FPAQ 17:02 - Tensions rise 21:47 - Droughts, heists, and...syrup laundering? 29:38 - The Great Heist of 2012 43:08 - Capture and arrest 55:10 - Thank you and good dayThank you to our friends for our musicJacob CaseyAdam WardJared ScrowtherIf you want to contact us, send us an email at [email protected] find us elsewhere, just go to these links.InstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsWebsite
