This isn’t surprising.
This is Canadian info wars isn’t it?
Coming soon: OG Canuck and RC Gold 🌱
Only Canada could screw this up.
The government is just another criminal gang. Stop kidding yourself morons, people need to make a living.
Legalization was the right move and it’s going to take time to work the bugs out of the system. Organized crime worms its way into many legitimate legal businesses. You only have to look at the construction industry in Quebec to see that.
he is probably in with the damn mafia or other criminal organization
Legalising Criminal Organisation and asking them to pay taxes which will reduced their profit. Good luck on that.
This is a dream for organized crime, they can launder money into a legit business, what’s wrong with that? They are helping people with the financial mountain that it takes to get in the business. What is really absurd is that most of the people they hire got their experience with weed when it was still illegal, so what does it matter where the criminals come from or the money. The end result is the consumer wins and what’s wrong with that.
Yes its call big Pharmaceutical companies.
Stop calling it pot! Hurts my flipping head!😂
I’d call big Pharma organized crime
Oooohhhhh. We get to comment!
What were they expecting to happen……
Well,what did we expect? Has anyone looked into the cost of licensing alone to grow cannabis? No doubt turd o was paid off.
clickbait
Of course they are, pushers are pusher be they legal or not.
Isn’t Quebec run by organized crime anyways? What’s the surprise?
sweet lady bug
Who do you think has the experience. Folks who have been doing it for decades. The government would be smart to look to so called criminals for their councel. People who have experience growwing cannabis and every canadian citizen should have the same right to be part of the industry as the big money corperations who have attempted to monopolize the budding industry of legal cannabis in Canada.
So much legal weed they can’t get rid of it all so it gets shipped where it replaces the illegal ditch weed. How shocking!!
Bahaha Mafia? More likely dispensaries run by normal honest people. Where do you think the 100 dispensaries in Vancouver (illegal federally, but thanks to Gregor Robertson, he protected them from the unjust law) were receiving their cannabis from ? Honest hard working people being labeled as mafia, a complete and utter joke. Propaganda at its finest.
THE POLITICIANS ARE PAID OFF BY THE MAFIA, WHY IS THAT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
Investigate deadly drugs in big pharma that have to warn you of "suicidal tendencies". Stop flushing money down the toilet "investigating" weed.
Sorry organized crime will just adapt. It’s just like Vegas baby.
If you can’t beat them join them….
Well now they are legal.
WOW
What’s this? A CBC news video NOT censored by disabling the comments? Wow how unpathetic of you guys for once allowing public comments and debate.
And the gov. Is not an organized crime syndacate. Ha
this is how they sold it to the public… real criminals are right here listen…. how many liberal friends are invested in cannabis ? sell out
Trudeau’s gift. The mafia is going legal.
Of course there’s going to be organized crime involve but they only make up a tiny percent.
Living in the past do we?
So do restaurant owners. Atleast they cannot sell to underage or hide their income and expenses anymore
This is just a spectacle being made out of something everyone expected…
Let them légalise their money, inject them into economy and pay taxes.
Duh, why is this news?
Must be just in Quebec, they are shady AF over there!
So overly biased, this pissed me off.
I will only grow my own
More like the gov has ties to organized crime what a crap propaganda story.
The whole operation is run by Tony Lazuto
It’s funny I am sitting right by a medical marijuana dispensary that got shut down for new location. . Well as I sat here for 30 mins this guy sold prolly 15 or so 1/8 This how’s that stopping the drug trade deeper the government should just stop there bull.
I have a cannabis news channel in Canada 🇨🇦 i’m not looking to be paid or anything like every other youtuber lol,
Just trying to air my voice.
It’s hard to attract, like minded stoners to YouTube. content unless your big.
Come take 5 mins outta your day to check me out..
This is so biases. Did they get shot or stabbed picking up the weed 😠
Organized crime can be multi-layered and extremely complex. There is litterally no way to completely remove it from Canadian business, and fear of organized crime cannot be allowed to stop Canadians from moving forward. Yes current laws are imperfect, yes the Liberals are responsible for these particular laws, yes organized crime is involved with cannabis and cigarettes and alcohol and food and construction and te media and toy drives for children and most definately polatics. In a system based on the accumulation of wealth and power there will always be those willing to get ahead at the expense of others, some are called criminal others are called businessmen and others politicians.
Sure the Libs created a imperfect law, but the reality is legalization will transfer some of the wealth out organized crime and into public coffers. So, while it is imperfect and organized crime is still involved, it is better than what we had with prohibition
Canada is a laughing stock of the North America
That’s because dispensaries reject so much weed,the growers have to sell it to other less legit investors
Illegally you can walk across the street and pay $40 for some homegrown or legally you can drive for two hours to wait in the rain for an hour for about 4 choices. Scam lol
