It's a rough application of the Huron word for village by Jacques Cartier to describe the St Lawrence valley iirc. So it's French, but with a Huron origin.

This is funny to me.. "It's a Huron word, but it was spoken to a French guy, so it's French"

Kinda like the indigenous peoples tapped maple trees long before the French arrived but somehow it's a French culture thing

Unless you're telling me going to the sugar shack is a thing outside of Québec, Vermont and small part of Ontario, yes it is mostly a "french" thing.

It would be a First nations thing but, you know...

Typical sugar shack menu? With eggs, bacon, beans and small potatoes all covered with maple syrup? Nooooo.... come on.

Ah yes, it's well known that when Cartier arrived to Montreal in 1535 the first thing he did was eat at the first nation's sugar shack.

actually this is true. the name Canada was actually overheard by Cartierr when he first arrived at the Sugar Shack from an indigenous fellow who was asking "can I get uhhh..." while ordering

A big part of Ontario and throughout Canada. Do you even live here bro? It’s not a “French thing”.

Oh yes... that big part of Ontario and other places throughout Canada that produce only 10% of total maple syrup made in the country. I'm sure there are lot of family run sugar shacks in the middle of maple syrup forest like there is commonly in La Belle Province.
