I'll bet they're still losing money.

Only Ontario could get a monopoly on an extreme-demand large-market product, and lose money on it.

Actually, I'll take that back. I don't think even Ontario could lose money on it. No matter how dumb the leadership is, how incompetent the workers... It's still a massive monopoly.

So why did they lose money?

It reminds me of Patreon's posting of losses, and my reaction of "your entire necessary expense list is one website, and bandwidth, and you're raking in millions. Maybe some marketing. Why?"

And then I found out Patreon was spending millions on woke consultants and wokism tithes to the church of woke. And somehow Ontario spent 100+ million dollars on... A website, and some distribution networks. Hmm...

This is the gist of government, lose money selling weed. It's all corruption though dressed up as ineptitude.

Because Ontario truly screwed the pooch on this one, like it usually does. Ontario is a dumbfuck, and if anything is going to be done the stupid way, that's how Ontario will do it. Other provinces are probably doing fine - especially Alberta, because it's different.

They switched gears for what their distribution model was going to be in mid-stream, so that Ontario had fuck all for stores and a totally fucked up system well after legalization settled down in other provinces, resulting in Ontarians still using the black market even today.

Now check Alberta, which hung its marijunana distribution on top of the PUBLIC-PRIVATE system that the "evil" RALPH KLEIN (aka, Alberta's Donald Trump, but with booze instead of money) set up as soon as he took office (because he was a drunk and there was no way no how anyone was going to tell him he couldn't have beer on Sunday). The province does the wholesaling, but private stores sell to the public. It works very well here with absolutely NO reason to use the BM, at least if you're not somewhere isolated; and even then, the provinces each do run their own online stores.

Yeah, Ontario - the one jurisdiction dumb enough to lose money at selling dope. I was born there, why do you think I hate it and left?

Only these idiots could lose money on a product that grows out of dirt and sells itself.

The Ontario government spent 42 Million monopoly bucks to push degeneracy in 2019. More accurate headline.
