It takes government scale incompetence to lose money selling recreational drugs.
I’m using the word “recreational” loosely since self-induced mental illness and psychotic violence are not usually chosen as an amusing diversion by those who have not been brainwashed by big-dope companies.
From the CBC:
The Ontario government lost $42M selling cannabis in the last year
Ontario Cannabis Retail Corp. lost $42 million in the latest fiscal year, according to newly released public documents.The provincial Crown corporation tasked with online sales and wholesale distribution of recreational pot reported revenues of $64 million for the year ended March 31, 2019.
Big dope companies? More like big dope governments I think!
ONLY THE GOV. can lose money dealing dope- STREET people can even make a living doing it- FFS!!
I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt and put some of this down to start-up costs.
However, making legal cannabis more expensive than the illegal stuff isn’t likely to help that balance sheet much!
Marijuana or cannabis or whatever else you might call it should NEVER have been made legal. It destroys the lives of many people particularly our teens and the only profit goes to the producers and sellers. Any taxes collected by the governments hardly scratch the surface of the costs related to its usage.
Sunny ways….thanks JT-you da man
In the balances of human good vs. human evil nothing compares with the monstrous evil being exposed in the current testimony at ‘Lifesitenews’ by reporter Lianne Laurence re. the preliminary Hearing of David Daleiden & Sandra Merritt vs. ‘Planned Parenthood’/’StemcellExpress’:demonic principal donor of the Democrat Party, USA.
Read and WATCH the videos: no.3 ‘Human Capital’ – “the chest cavity was open…the heart was beating again” “cut through the face of the fetus to harvest the brain”…
Daleiden & Merritt justly charge “homicide”.
This is the same Moloch Industry that has made its way to Canada under the current Cultural Marxist regime in Ottawa; and has exported this slaughter of the Innocents by $650 + million;which atrocity was applauded as “abortion for ANY reason” at a May sitting of The House of Commons, 2019. Note who did not. Note and Vote:
your own soul’s Salvation will turn upon it.
While the MSM are doing their iniquitous best to keep the ‘a’ word out of the political discourse, and are choosing NOT to cover the PP Case, or delegitimize those Candidates who did or do oppose abortion, think not that our Cup of the Amorites now is overflowing…with infant blood.
“Praying about political matters can be tricky, especially when we pray together with other believers who may see the candidates, parties and policy issues in a variety of ways.”

So… with an election on the horizon and the mud flying… I do think it’s important for Christians to at least attempt to demonstrate civil disagreement. But I really wish more of the well-intentioned believers I know paid attention between election cycles.
And I realize this article is looking at a provincial issue… but had the happy-go-lucky federal Liberals not legalized in such a hurry… sigh.
