The population base is way larger than Windsors, only thing against Hamilton is that it's close to St. Kits, and the other 905 cities to the north-east.
They have no process to allocate to specific cities. They just randomly picked seven applications for the "west region" and then the applicants choose their cities.
This might be OK if we had a reasonable base of stores to start with, but given that there won't be any more for another year, it's a pretty slipshod process. But they really, really didn't want LCBO to run the cannabis shops ...
You mean our provincial government is doing things badly?! Say it isn't so! </sarcasm>
Also, Ford is failing to sell weed effectively...that's the one thing I thought he'd be good at. </sarcasm>
Now that that's out of the way, yeah, this distribution is unfortunate. I am still curious about Windsor though, do they really expect cross border travel? The consequences for trying to take product back across the border would probably be extremely severe, and I'd suspect there'd be a decent risk of getting caught, they have dogs and the right to search, etc, might even be safer to buy it illegally in Detroit.
