Our provincial government is currently the New Democratic Party
They are the most left of the major political parties

Anywho in Nanaimo we have had a plethora of Cannibis dispencearies close
their doors recently with the city saying it's a zoning thing. Meetings are planned.

Then I see this.

I don't watch local news at all so just today I discover that our provincial government
has basically taken over the legal marijuana business both as wholesaler and
retailer(in the government liquor stores)

They're touting all the benefits, edging out the illegal traders etc.
Private dispensaries will still be allowed to do business, they just
have to buy from the government.

Fucking socialists
