This is wild.

This seems like a rather obscene level of taxation while most licence holders struggle to avoid layoffs. The industry in 2022 is paradoxically responsible for one of the top three fastest growing job titles, yet also for 40% of CCAA insolvency filings in Canada.

The data on cannabis use in young people (age 12-18) leading to schizophrenia and psychosis later in life even after cessation of cannabis use, are striking, concerning & lend balance to the idea that cannabis is harmless or better b/c it is “safer than alcohol”.

For those about to say "get a job while going to school," you should keep in mind the median homeowner in Toronto no longer makes enough to rent a 1-bedroom. You're expecting kids to get better jobs than you & do it after school. Future generations shouldn't have it harder. – at Toronto, Ontario

Monkeypox: what I'm about to say here is based on what I've observed so far with monkeypox: but has not been investigated properly by authorities and so is just my observations based on what I'm seeing and hearing.

If you're tempted to dismiss people concerned with Covid/SARS2 by telling them to not live their lives in fear, may I just say that we don't live in fear? This isn't fear. I'm not afraid of Covid. I am fucking angry. I'm angry as hell. I'm angry that I have to attempt to fill 1/

Singapore is the most capitalist country in the world¹ ,yet 80% of the people live in govt-built housing². Govt built housing is better for a thriving economy in two key ways: 1. It prevents capital being poured into a non-productive economic sector 🧵

Want to know how bad 🇨🇦's money laundering problem is? It's nearly the same size of GDP as real estate was to the 🇺🇸 during its housing bubble in '06. Left, right, or center — politicians in 🇨🇦 that haven't called for a federal public inquiry have declared war on Millennials.

One country, one stamp. If we can’t do away with excise stamps, simplifying Licencees’ inventory and excise application processes by reverting to a single nationwide stamp would mercifully lower labour and compliance efforts with 0 downsides. Win - Win. Also, exempt medical!
Ok #Cannabis folks….time to get your Excise Duty ideas submitted…for example, can there be an lower duty for craft growers (⁦⁦⁦@DSutton1986⁩ ). Let's talk Budget 2022 | Let’s Talk Budget 2022- Canada.ca letstalkbudget2022.ca/let-s-…

The fact that #Omicron doesn’t replicate as much in the lung doesn’t make me feel better. Why? #COVID19 was never just a respiratory disease, that’s its primary mode of transmission. I’m increasingly concerned about what this means for vasculature/clot presentation in particular.

At this point a new year feels a bit risky, what about getting a certified pre-owned year?
