Canada diverts the forces withdrawn from the Eastern Seaboard to the United State of North Dakota in a full invasion.
An upper class gentleman has founded the new religion Leafslam. Leafslam centers itself on the consumption of maple products daily and the burning of maple incense. Holy communion with Maple Christ involves drinking his blood (maple syrup) and eating some maple cookies. The movement is sweeping across the nation and many former atheists, agnostics, and protestants alike have found solace in the teachings of Maple Christ.
The Canadian government has decided to nationalize maple products for completely unrelated reasons.
if someone could think of a demonym for those who follow Leafslam I would be rather appreciative seeing as how leafslims sounds stupid as forget
and leafslam doesn't
Praise Maple Christ
