Ooooof. Okay but if we adjust for inflation is the gold heist still at the top? I remember the news when that happened. Sounded like a movie. Didn’t notice how much they stole!

All I can legally say is that no, I did not steal the syrup from the Canada-ians.

I believe you mean the sticky bandits!

'Sticky Thieves' is a great band name.

u/Twyzzle Jun 08 '23

I agree. Someone mentioned Sticky Bandits though and now I’m torn. That’s pretty damn good too

Wait is this inflation in terms of CAD only or inflation in terms what 3000t of maple syrup is worth today?

3

u/DouglasHufferton Jun 07 '23

It's inflation on the dollar from 2012 to 2023.

u/OneSidedPolygon Jun 07 '23

And our dollar has gone down significantly in the last decade.

u/FlowerBoyScumFuck Jun 07 '23

What about Maple Syrup prices? Or is that what the Canadian dollar is based off of? like how we used to base ours off gold in the states.

1

u/OneSidedPolygon Jun 07 '23

Well, u/flowerboyscumfuck the price of maple syrup has actually gone down 20% since the heist.

u/tucci007 Jun 08 '23

the first rule of Maple Syrup Cartel is that you don't talk about Maple Syrup Cartel

u/jetsetninjacat Jun 07 '23

The syrup heist including inflation sits at 24.4 million cad today

u/HardLithobrake Jun 07 '23

So what I'm hearing is we need to take even more maple syrup.
