Those crazy Canucks across the pond have banned the stuff. An outrageous infringement on our rights to eat yeast based muck for breakfast or saving children from a lifetime of gagging on the Devil's work?

    Seal clubbing and now this. I'm boycotting maple syrup now in protest.

    Does this apply to Twiglets?

    If anybody can think of anything, at all, that Canada manufactures (except as some sort of outpost for the US) I'll go for some reciprocity. (Celine Dion and Justin Bieber are already banned from my house.)

    Seems the shop owner is claiming this but the Canadian Food Agency hasn't commented

    Steady on @cafcfan banning Celine Dion in person would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face :0)

    always loved it, was brought up on it, regularly bathe in it and have recently started up an internet business selling batteries covered with dog shit to allow non-believers to experience the taste.
