Quebec manages to lose millions dealing marijuana

BWAHAHAHAHAHA CAUGH SPiT CHOKE>...


Thats awesome

If it wasn’t clear before, it sure is now. Governments suck at doing business, and dealing marijuana is a business.

According to a recently published article by the Montreal Gazette, the Société québécoise du cannabis, managed to bring in more than $71 million in its first fiscal year operating. While they took in millions and faced no legal competition, the society managed to lose $4.9 million.

The taxpayer covered loss is truly stunning when you consider that the marijuana sold at legal outlets in Quebec are on average far more expensive than marijuana available on the black markets locally and online, while also providing far fewer options.

Heck, public legal marijuana providers in Quebec were only open four days out of the week until just last month. Even now, when picking up at a store, the province only has 15 locations.

This expensive and frankly poorly managed operation means taxpayers are now covering the costs of what seems like a drug dealer worse than the black market.

if anyone thinks this is going to stop?

not in my lifetime lol

Like they are going to want to sell more to make up for the loss and lose even more?
N win and government subsidies all the way round.. said it now I see it coming real fast to try and save these dumb fuckers from bust

The more they lose the happier I get.

Salutations,

M'well, i could have concured until i read about yet another "government subsidies" comment obviously emenating from TrudeauManiac land, whatever...



Once again lets have a brief recap on previous cheating steps which actually date back to our confederation ("Constitution Act") of 1867, the very same which allowed "medical" patients to defend basic rights, once challenged by Harper until creative minds found a "legal" loophole (e.g. still in absence of a better strategy)...

As far as i'm concerned the root of evil goes as far as the 1923 UNILATERAL TRANSFER of a PROVINCIAL COMPÉTENCE, performed in denial of our democratic institutions by a Liberal politician who even possessed medical background! His name was Henri-Sévérin Béland and instead of correcting Québec's previous misleading classification (authorized by the British Empire of Queen Victoria...) he chose to perform a national ban in order to take over legal control, e.g. OUTSIDE of Québec's parliament. My guess could be that it must have been his peculiar federalist way to reward my province's people after we saved Canada from bankrupcy.

Euh...

Anyway instead of being corrected many more cheating samples continued to accumulate ever since. Only a couple years later, for example, Raoul Dandurand seated as president at the Société des Nations, the very same year "Indian hemp"/"Cannabis sativa L." was mysteriously added to its 1925-Feb-19 International Opium Convention...

Decades passed collecting bigot prohibitionist trophies then Liberals (again) saw an opportunity to instrumentalize the "language barrier" starting with day-1 of Trudeau's 2015 electoral platform, somehow failing to translate "Incidental Possession" to "Possession Simple"!! It appears cap'tain Itnoc (In The Name Of Children...) couldn't correct such "mistake" after ~2 years of a majority government.

In any case the nomination of Bill G20 Blair was promptly followed by the KILLING (via SPVM-GTi agent Christian Gilbert) of a French-speaking Haïti immigrant on Arthur-Chevrier/Montréal, over the equivalent harvest of ~3 plants... It occured hours from April 1st, just 3 weeks before the UNGASS 2016 event, itself severely criticized by former high-profile Louise Harbour and peers.

That same year the new "Task Force" directed from a Toronto office organized some pseudo-consultation which resulted in a tenfold representativity deficit for Québec (1 LP against 36), culminating with the Halloween "science" on "ADDICTION" of October 19 at hotel Marriott/Mtl (with Kevin Sabet and Nora Volkow as guests!), though in reality this originated from the Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine based in Calgary/Alberta...

Etc., etc.

Anyway repeated enumeration of more cheating seems totally pointless here, as abundantly demonstrated in past years, by the way!

Divide & Conquer never felt so successful as a strategy to fight cannabis consumers ready to discriminate against themselves only to serve predatory politics who never seem to learn from their mistakes.

It would be nice if SQdC's issues resulted from similar considerations but i'm afraid the base-line mainly resides in arbitrary price-tags reflecting some sick "legaleeze" mentality, as if previous "organized crime" needed to get replaced by true socio-toxic predators. Etc.

In any case YOU're next and there won't be too many sympathy left when YOUR time comes, my dear fellow Canuck citizens.

Good day, have fun!!
