Today on the Unpublished Cafe podcast we talk about the Province of Ontario getting it's ducks in a row for the rollout of legalized marijuana by July 1st, 2018. The federal government started the process and is letting each province introduce it as they see fit. In Ontario, the government is launching the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, 40 stand alone stores run by the province to sell recreational marijuana. That will expand to 150 stores by 2020. It would be run much like the LCBO, another government monopoly although cannabis and liquor will not be sold in the same store. The Liberals call their plan a safe and sensible way to approach the issue. ———————————— In this podcast we will talk to Ontario Attorney General, Yasir Naqvi about the Liberals approach. We will also chat with Ryan Malluogh from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business about it's view on legalizing recreational marijuana and how it could be a job creator.
