Ontario’s Liberals and New Democrats are pledging to revisit a model for licensing cannabis stores they say isn’t working – a problem Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford said the market will resolve.
He described clustering as a “side effect” of the Progressive Conservative government’s approach to distributing legalized cannabis. “It doesn’t matter if it’s cannabis or another type of store. The market will take care of it. There’s no way you can cluster any type of business beside each other. It’s like putting six convenience stores together. There’s going to be two that might survive,” he said at a campaign stop in London, Ont., on Saturday.“I leave that up to the municipalities. No one knows their community better than the municipalities,” he said.
Michael Armstrong, a Brock University business professor who studies cannabis market data, said limiting the number of cannabis retailers that can open in a certain area might have prevented clustering three years ago when the stores started to open.
First they allowed this monster in, now they want votes again to control it ~
Ford dropped the ball on that one. I'm not sure it can be fixed now.
Just let the excessive ones go bankrupt as we all know they will
'The NDP said they would give municipalities a greater say in the licensing process, for instance by allowing them to limit the number of cannabis stores on a single block.' Don't worry, you can still buy alcohol and smokes anywhere you want.
Are they going to smoke them all out of business?
