By comparison the energy industry, in the middle of the downturn in 2017, still employed more than half a million Canadians in high salary occupations: https://context.capp.ca/infographics...ic_533000-jobs
So yeah, Peter MacKay was bang on with his statement that the legalization of cannabis was rushed, it was botched, and it was not a high priority at the time. I'm not against the legalization, but only the completely incompetent Trudeau government could kill the industry and lose money selling drugs. In fact the roll-out was so poor it cost cannabis companies in this country billions of dollars: https://business.financialpost.com/c...-for-investors
Canada is an energy/resource backed economy and will be for the remainder of our lifetimes. Stay 'woke'. |
That's 10000 direct jobs. It has also created plenty of indirect jobs. One guy I know programmed the HVAC system for Tilray and another did all the engineering. A family member is on the board of a waste management company that invented a tech that reduces the smell of waste. The tech is now being used by some cannabis growing companies.
harper would have never legalized cannabis neither would have scheer. 15 years after gay marriage has been legalized some cons still think it should be banned scheer included.
