Canada's retaliation against U.S. President Donald Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs includes proposed duties on maple syrup, a nod to a national symbol and a powerful industry in the French-speaking province of Quebec that could hurt producers in Maine.
While small in dollar value, the tariff shows how Canada's retaliation has turned a dispute over metals into a broader conflict, touching many sectors.
Quebec, Canada's second-largest province by population, accounted for about 72 percent of the world's production in 2017, but U.S producers were eating into Canada's market share.
