Canadians spent $1.2 billion on non-medical cannabis in the first full calendar year since legalization, a number that fell well short of expectations but that appears set to grow significantly in 2020.

Pablo Zuanic, a pot analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald called the December sales figures a “good end to the year,” given various regulatory restrictions like the late legalization of 2.0 products as well as the slow retail rollout across Ontario.
I love driving to a distant dispensary, parking, lining up, and paying inflated prices for inferior weed. So much better than getting superior black market stuff delivered to my door.

Higher costs should kill Trans Mountain pipeline, opposition saysThe federal government bought the existing oil pipeline between Alberta and the B.C. coast, and an unfinished plan to twin it, for $4.5 billion in 2018 OMG! realDonaldTrump knows Piplies and costs and mountains.

As for Bucky and her 'activists', you are never of any interest to anyone.
