Anything run/controlled by the HU mint will not be efficient.

That looks like Cowgary. I'm surprised that his Nazi that isn't covered in egg yolk.

 

[Danbones]

Hey those white nationalists don't call it a nazi hat


Actually knowing Pierre, it looks like he just "borrowed" the horse off the x mounted in the back ground...and he has yet to ask if he could

For the sake of comparison, Colorado, with a population of less than six million people, initially opened 136 venues for the purpose of legally selling marijuana.

Also, for background info, Colorado went with allowing private businesses to sell pot, and their internal reports show that they have gained NO tax revenue at all.


Which is why every province in Canada is planning to run it as a gov't operation, so they actually get the revenue.

why did they not get any revenue at all? I oppose business taxes by default, but i do support such taxes on businesses that sell addictive products like marijuana. Why could they not just impose a 1/3 tax on net profits for example? If it's a matter of tax fraud, why not just enforce the law?

Not what I read. Colorado and Washington are apparently making tons of money.

Marijuana is not addictive.

The money is just going to be squandered by the province.

Alberta has the heritage fund, why doesnt Ontario build one?

Alberta is not a province to learn from.

They are one of the most literate provinces in the country though. They have to be doing something right.
