Have fun! 
OK, I will… I have my case of Black Label and I’m ready to party! Wooooo Hooooo! 
Can you ferment maple syrup?
I’m sure you can, but I doubt you want to. Although Maple Brown is a nice alternative to Honey Brown.
They do make a maple liqueur in Quebec though. S’pose you could try making that…
Actually, people tend to make maple wine, more than liquor. I’m told that birch wine tastes better.
Happy Hoser Day!

Don’t you think that it’s about time you guys should start celebrating the Fourth of July along with the rest of the States, eh?

If maple liqueur is anything like mead, I’ll definitely pass.
God, yes. I’m not sure if mead was ever really intended for human consumption or as an industrial cleaning agent.

So, what usually happens on Canada Day?
Drink beer. Eat donuts. Watch tv. Life is complete.

I know lots of Canadians, and not one of them finishes their sentence with “eh,” unless they are joking of course. So I wonder why that is such a popular stereotype.
So are beer, donuts, and tv our own stereotypes of ourselves. “Eh?” was once much more prevalent until such a big deal was made about it in the American media that people became self-concious about it, “yuh know?”.
djm
you mean you don’t go oat and aboat?
Um … oot an’ aboot?
djm
is that how you say it? i had a pal from Toronto, seems like she always used to ask if i wanted to go oat… i was probably too busy looking at her to properly transliterate her accent
I think it’s a colloquial stereotype–tends to be more common away from the most cosmopolitan areas, I think. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.
I can say that we stayed in a very folksy B&B that a couple ran in their home on P.E. Island 20 years ago, and they ended everything they said with “eh?”
No it isn’t like mead at all and it isn’t wine (unless you drink especially potent wine), I like it, but I’m a big fan of maple.
Yeah, you can still hear “eh”, it’s still favoured over “huh”. At least around my parts it is pretty common. Another good one is At all, pronounced A Tall, that’s my favourite.
What you do on Canada Day depends on where you are. Quebec City… not a heck of alot. Ottawa, I went downtown with 50 000 of my closest friends and watched the Mounties musical ride, the Changing of the Guards, the Airforce Pipes and Drums and a noon show with a fly-past and various (semi)popular musical acts. Then I waved at the Governor General and shook the Prime Minister’s hand (I said Hi for you djm ) Tonight there’s another show and the fire-works.
Here you are,

And actually a quick search did turn up Maple Mead.
EDIT: Actually this is more what I had in mind,

Actually the very show I first saw it on.
There’s also Maple Whisky apparently.
It entered popular culture because of Bob and Doug Mackenzie (http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Underground/6756/takeoff.htm), but the truth is that the use of “eh” is dying out. People under thirty don’t say it at all, and it was a fairly local thing before that.
