A new television commercial meant for the Ontario market says that province is second in production, but the claim is disputed by New Brunswick

Louise Poitras, executive director of the New Brunswick Maple Syrup Association, says Ontario was only second in 2018 – when New Brunswick had a bad year – and otherwise her province has outproduced Ontario every year since 2012.“It was the only year in the last seven years that New Brunswick wasn’t ranked second,” Poitras said.

“We said to the New Brunswick folks, ‘Sorry that you feel annoyed but it’s not inaccurate.’ We didn’t do this on purpose,” he said. “We sell a lot of our maple syrup to Quebec, Germany, France and Australia. We are taking advantage of that second rank,” she said.

Canada's tourism industry braces for impact of new coronavirus on travelCanada's tourism industry is bracing for the impact of the novel coronavirus on the number of foreign visitors this summer travel season. To me a tourism economy is the sign of a developing country. So is natural resource export. Mature nations have some other economic basis: manufacturing, ownership of foreign assets, technological expertise, finance, etc. Our economy needs to grow up. Based off of that picture... maybe we're better off without those tourists lol I want to hear how Justin Trudeau Plans to take control ? Being prime minister requires responsibility for world health.
