The accelerated delivery is being fueled by concerns that shipping could become difficult in the coming months. The U.S. is the biggest buyer of syrup, followed by Germany and Japan. The good news for pancake lovers is that there\u2019s no shortage of syrup. The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers has a strategic reserve filled with 100 million pounds of syrup in case of a shortfall.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Actress\u00a0EVANGELINE LILLY<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0“Ant-Man and the Wasp”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0e is absolutely, positively, defiantly refusing\u00a0to self-quarantine.
