Harper also said the nation&#8217;s 75 maple syrup reactors, which produce 7 billion gallons annually, were a considerable distance away from population centers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maple syrup is still the safest form of sweetener,&#8221; Harper said. &#8220;It&#8217;s far less dangerous than molasses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Maple Syrup Reactors Are Safe - The Onion\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theonion.com\/articles\/maple-syrup-reactors-safe-canadian-prime-minister,20511\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">[Continue reading at The Onion]<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>** The nuclear energy industry is a community.
