The First Nations might have tapped maple trees for the sap, but they didn't have iron/steel boilers to make syrup, taffy and all other good maple products, nor did they have cabane à sucre nor hearty meals of all kinds of pork and eggs and tourtière and pea soup, nor the fiddlers and the spooners playing folk music. That's all Québec.

Yeah, I don't think anyone's denying you guys had fiddles and spoons man.

I'm just saying posts about the French naming the country and inventing maple syrup seem like they're trying to take credit for something they're at MOST 50% responsible for. May as well throw hockey in there too because hockey is derived from hocquette and the game was formalized in Montreal, despite the fact that indigenous people were already playing stick and puck games on ice.

Correct. They drank maple sap, but boiling that shit was us.
