Uncovering the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist · Stay Outta My Fridge

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: In the heart of rural Quebec, behind the locked doors
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of a nondescript warehouse. Something was missing. Not cash, not gold,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: but nearly three thousand tons of pure liquid gold maple syrup,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: valued at over eighteen million dollars. It vanished without a trace.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: The world laughed, headlines called it the sweetest hess in history.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But behind the syrupy punchlines, a darker story was bubbling up,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: whispers of rebellion, a black market, and a powerful cartel
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that controls the lifeblood of Canada's proudest export. So Meg,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: was this an inside job, an active economic warfare, or
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a sticky conspiracy that goes deeper than any pancake stack
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: could ever dream? Because today Meg and the Ortam Podcast,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We're going to crack open the barrels of truth behind
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the Great Canadian maple Syrup hest and uncover the conspiracy
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that still leaves a bad taste in the mouths of
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: those who dared to fight the Federation.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: So huh, this one's intriguing. I figured, Hey, it's maple season,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Maple City might be buying my truck. There's just too
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: much maple in the air that why not do something?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Why not go International and do an episode a f
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Your Time podcasts about a maple heist.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Mmmm, that makes me sad?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Why so sad? Because the fans and the maple business.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know how much work goes into it and
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: how unpredictable the seasons are. You never know how much
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It is true. Have you ever heard of this story?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Me, neither, And it happened not too long ago. Well,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I say not too long ago, but it's been almost
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: fifteen years, so we're getting hold. But doesn't seem like
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it was that long ago. Do you want to get
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: right into this one and hopefully you're not too sad?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Or should we do the intro?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Let's just carry it into it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Let's get into it, let's change it up all right.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And at the time of the recording, I feel like
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: we had some some of the family syrup on our
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: breakfast this morning, didn't we?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: We sure did. Yeah, we did the most delicious thing
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: on the planet.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Where can they find this deliciousness? It's not even for sale,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: isn't It's just like they do it for the family, right, No,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: they sell it, Oh, they sell it. Where can they
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: get it?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: It's the Wood family in Harrisonville.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Look it up. You want some, I'll tell you what.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: First five people they hit me up. I will make
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: sure that we get it for you, as long as
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you pick it up. Because I don't really want to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: ship galluon of syrup in this way. But I will
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: reserve five. I will purchase them to have them.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: They do smaller sizes.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: They do smaller sizes as well. All right, there we go.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We did a thing in twenty eleven in a quiet
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: industrial facility in Saint Louis, Blandford. How would you say it?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I drop it out quite like that?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I was. I was trying to read Blandford and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it was Saint Louis, and then my brain was like,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it's not Saint Louis, it's Saint Louis. It tripped me
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: up a little bit.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I've only said it correctly.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's just say well, I was trying to think of that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, how would I say it if I was
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: French saying Luis the blan hole. There was a reserve
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: unlike any other, and it was underwatch, the Global Strategic
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Maple Syrup Reservoir. Have you ever heard of it? It's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a big thing.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: It's not reservoir, it's reserve.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But that's how the French would say it. I think,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: oh you think so, I think so, it's not just
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: reserve in French, right, they'd be like, no, fine, the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve. Yes, Meg, it actually was
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: started in two thousand. It holds tens of thousands of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: barrels of syrup. Brendaway that doesn't know how many gallons
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of sap to make one gallon of syrup, do you know?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Not off the top of my head.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Forty roughly gallons of sap. So if they're making.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Thought, it was more than that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Everything I've always been told in the Maple Biz it
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was forty sap to one gallon. We're gonna go with that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is in metric because we're
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in America, so I'm sorry to all the Canadian listeners,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: but yes, thousands of barrels of syrup would be times
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: at least forty. Meg's gonna get on the googles and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: see if I'm right, And whilst he does that, I'm
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: going to continue with this story because this reserve or
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: reservoir holds a lot of their and they hold it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to stabilize global prices because Canada meg produces seventy over
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: seventy percent of the world's maple syrup, and the bulk
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of it comes from Quebec.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Did you know that I had a good feeling?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: We can think of it as the OPEC for breakfast
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: stoppings because we love syrup. It also goes good in coffee,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: goes good with a lot of things. Did you find
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: something to prove me wrong yet? Okay, good, because I'm
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: right all the time. But either way, this reserve was
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: managed by the FPA, the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Put that on a T shirt or a bumper sticker.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: We saw a bumper sticker yesterday that made us both giggled,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: didn't we Yes, it was a It was a vehicle
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with a lot of rainbows and a lot of other
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: bumper stickers, and this one said I'm so gay, I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: can't even drive straight. And that made me giggle. So
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: shout out to whoever was in the lovely town of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Governor of New York that had that bumper sticker. You
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: made us giggle. I liked it was good. It was good.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I you don't see it's a dian Art bumper stickers.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna do because my truck died
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm still a little bitter about it, and I'm
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: gonna bumper sticker to crap on this new vehicle. I'm
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: gonna find all of the most clever bumper stickers and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they're going on this new ride. I'm a sticker it
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: up baby. But founded in nineteen sixty six was the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers. It'd become a powerful
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: organization that acts as a marketing board. They set the quotas,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: they control homet syrup gets released into the market. They
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: inspect quality, They even store producers syrup until it's sold
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to some PAQ ain't nothing to no Sorry, that's a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: different song. It's a stabilizing force that insures producers get
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: paid fairly and the industry remains sustainable. To others, it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a syrup cartel, choking out independent producers and driving prices
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: through the roof entered the thieves meg Over the course
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of more than a year between twenty eleven and twenty
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and twelve, barrels were slowly siphoned, their contents replaced with
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: water or left empty. The stolen syrup was sold to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: distributors across Quebec, Ontario and even the US of A.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It was a meticulous daring and smelled faintly of rebellion.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: See you put your phone away? Was it right? Forty
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to one? Ooh?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It was like in the fifties now. But I also
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: learn another little fact.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Ooh, what you learn?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Meg? It says that maple is actually more healthy than honey. Ooh, slightly.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: But the one benefit of honey is it never expires.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Syrup doesn't either, see that. So this texture might change
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: slightly and it might not taste as fresh.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But it's still not going to hurt you.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: It was stored properly.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: There we go check out Woods.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: But it says it has a lower fruit toost content,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: higher mineral content, and a lower glycemic index.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Ooh, which means it's gout friendly. Get you some Woods.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Maple syrup when consumed in uh, moeration moderation not consideration.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Consider moderation when consuming maple syrup. So let's I don't know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: let's try to get inside this sticky operation, Meg. How
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: did they do it? This wasn't a midnight rate or
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a masked robbery. This was a slow burn steam. These
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: rended warehouse space and the same facility where the syrup
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: reserves were kept. They had legitimate access using trucks, hoses
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and brute strength. They rolled barrels out of stars, siphoned
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: out the syrup, and either refilled the barrels with water
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: or left them completely empty. Then they rolled the doctored
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: barrels right back into storage. The scheme lasted for months.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: In total, nine thousand, five hundred and seventy one barrels
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: ended up being tampered with. The reserve wasn't checked regularly.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Oh and a major security flaw was then found. But
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: then comes an inspector not inspector gadget. He envisited in
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: twenty twelve and tapped a barrel. It wobbled strangely. He
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: opened it and realized it was empty barrels of syrup.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Way over six hundred pounds. Empty barrels are well suspiciously light.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Thus began one of the largest police investigations in Canadian history.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: The Mounties were busy. Oh here's a French word, the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: sirette de Quebec. Now I think I spanished it up.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: How would you say?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: That cyret.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Siret de Quebec dubbed it Project a sir. That's way
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: easier to say. It's kind of like the computer. They
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: conducted over two hundred and fifty interviews, executed forty search warrants,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and seized trucks, syrup and storage records. The logistics were staggering.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Authorities discovered stolen syrups stored say that five times fastn
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: syrup swords, stolen syrup stored in New Brunswick, and even
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: found some being sold openly in the US of A. Wow,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: this is getting pretty interesting.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Huh h.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: See security flaws. Gotta keep on keeping on getting has
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to be right with all the access.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Do you always us over like a span of time?
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: You know it's not all done and one one hourah hohorah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: No, they siphoned, they stored, they were meticulous. But we
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: got a major player meg in the game, Old dick,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Old Richard. How would you say that? Last name? Valerious? Sure,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that's what we're going with. He was a syrup broker
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: with a history of illegal sales. He admitted of selling
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the stolen syrup, claiming he had no choice. You know why.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: He was threatened by organized criminals who demanded that he
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: helped them move it until the Gordy even tried to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: make counterfeit syrup from corn syrup to stretch the stolen products.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants it manufactured corn syrup. He ended up being
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: found guilty and setting to eight years in prison, along
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: with a little bit of a fine nine million dollars
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: equal to the profit he made from the hest bucket change. Yeah,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I wonder how much that is. That had to be.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of loonies and tuonies, you know what
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. But his trial then raised questions who were
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the buyers? How far to the network extend? With the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: black market for syrup already thriving before the heist, many
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: independent producers long resented the FPAQ. They saw the organization
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: is overly restrictive finding those who tried to sell outside
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the system. Some producers stored syrup illegally, hoping to sell
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: when the prices rose. The Federation conducted raids to sease
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that syrup. The tension created a fertile ground for rebellion. Well,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: there's no concrete evidence, of course. Every true crime story
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't apparently have this concrete evidence of an orchestrated protest.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Some believe the heights had silent supporters. So those are
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the worst communities that depended on syrup, tried error that
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: they didn't try. They were tired of the bureaucracy that controlled.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: They may have turned a blind eye to them. The
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: real crime was an economic oppression. So obviously with the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: hest like this, there's going to be a fallout and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: sticky justice because in total, meg over twenty six individuals
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: ended up being arrested in connection with the heists. Some
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: are drivers, others who were warehouse workers. Several were charged
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: with theft, conspiracy, and trafficking. So inside job ooh yeah,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: twenty six people, that's a lot. Old Richard Oh. Richard
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: was ordered to repay all of the money or face
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: an additional six years in prison. His father, ray Old
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Raymond was also convicted. It makes for an awkward family
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: holiday boxing day in Canada.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: No syrup for you, A little bit different dry pancakes.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yep, sorry Raymond, Sorry Richard, you did dish tosh. The
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: FPAQ increased security dramatically. Now this strategic reserve has surveillance cameras,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: motion detectors, and better tracking systems. Wow, I mean got
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a multi, multi, multi million dollar business. Why would you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: want cameras and motion detectors? Huh, but the trial forced
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: at National convers Station. Should maple syrup be treated like
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: oil or wheat a regulated commodity? Should it be like
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: wine or small producers and soulf freely in quality drives value.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I think it should be like the wine. The maple
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: syrup trail. They got wine trails all over. Can we
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: get a maple syrup trail? M it's good for the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: diabetesh Flights flights of syrup.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: They come in different colors.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: You can have little dippers like little French toasticks or
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: little pancake bikes. Oh now we're talking back on snut,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a million dollar idea we just came up with.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Have you ever had black s on snun?
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: No? I know what it is. I don't say that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't grow up in a sugar bush.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: We missed our chance. We did the snow is.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Don't say it. Don't say it, do not say it. Okay,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: we're moving on, because it was the minute you say
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna get a blizzard. Don't say it. She
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: almost set up people to this day syrup producers they're split.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: The Federation still sets quotas, but some producers continue to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: push for deregulation, saying the FPAQ stifles innovation and competition. Meanwhile,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: though the old black market syrups, of course it still exists,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and it turns out buyers they can't often tell the difference.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, if you were to go
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: into a store and by a well known brand of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: syrup around here, I'm trying to think one of the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: biggest ones around here, probably what Parker's out of Canton,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: or the young entrepreneur who was not so young anymore
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: started that. Could you go in and tell the difference
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: between that? In the woods one's probably more regulated. This
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: is me not knowing. I'm just throwing out local, you
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: know things. But if there was a there's going to
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: be somebody even bigger. Maybe if it makes I were.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Saying, they sell these in like the grocery stores around here.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is is seems like in Canada they
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: have the whole regulated market, so they have the reserve
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: of all the syrup because they're doing over seventy percent
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of the world syrup in Canada. Most of it is
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: in Quebec, so they have the reserves and everything which
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: is regulated and everything. What I'm saying is if you
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: had a black market one. So it's just say hypothetically
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: we're in Canada and say the Woods family just like, nah,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna be a part of there. We're not
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: going to send our syrup up to there, you know
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: what I mean, We're just going to sell it our own,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you know, word of mouth, donations, you know, whatever it is.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: You're probably not going to tell a big difference in
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the overly regulated seventy three percent of the world's syrup
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: compared to a smaller selling on the black market. Maybe
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you like the one better, but again that's that's kind
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of what they're saying. The black market is still striving
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and most buyers can't tell the difference of the main
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: ones to the other ones, because I mean, that's essentially
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: what they're doing. Distributors are buying some of that seventy
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: three percent syrup, repackaging at relabeling and marking up the price,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and that's why the prices are there. But they're saying
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: in Canada they don't really have a choice. All of
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: these other you know, maple farmers they don't have a choice.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That's tough when government steps in and says nope, And
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: would have thought this whole controversy over some maple syrup, right,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: but the maple The Great Maple Syrup Heist might sound
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: like the plot of a Wes Anderson film, but its
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: legacy is anything but whimsical. It exposed the shadow economy
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: within the beloved industry and highlighted the you know just
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: how deep of a resentment ran through all this in
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the Canadian culture. At its peak value, maple syrup was
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: worth more than crude oil per barrel. With that much
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: money on the line, theft, corruption, and a story like
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: this was probably inevitable. This story made international headlines. But
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: again again, seventy three percent being made, it's gonna make
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: international headlines. You can imagine these other countries like where's
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: my syrup at the Hosiers or we're working on it,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: a the mountains got involved and somebody's been stealing our syrup.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: He he. I feel like I was there and not
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: only did I make international headlines, but there was even
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: some documentaries on it. You want to go watch one. Yeah,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: let's go find a documentary on this. And then they
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: obviously dramatized some fictional stories as well, but for many
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Quebec producers, it wasn't just about headlines. It was about control,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: survival and Canadian pride. I mean, they got a maple
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: leaf on their flag. Unbelievable. Finally a reason of boo Canada,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: not even book Canada, boo these people that stole it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: God damn Richard and Raymond. But the sticky truth is
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that the maple syrup is more than just the topping
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in Quebec. It's culture, its identity and when power and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: profit get involved, even the sweetest industries kin sour. See
• 17:58
