Why are people talking about running out of maple syrup?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Toronto Star climate reporter Kate Allen Canada is the leader in maple syrup production and Quebec's maple syrup producers maintain a strategic reserve stockpile that in recent years held over 100 million pounds of the sweet stuff, but levels have this year dwindled to less than 7 million pounds. Star reporter Kate Allen wrote a feature on this topic and explains how the explanation has something (surprisingly) to do with the pandemic, something (interestingly) to do with successful marketing, and something (maybe) to do with larger climate trends. And she answers the question on all of our minds: Are we going to run out anytime soon?
