Daniel Goldbloom on The Government's $500K Marijuana Deficit: uhh...what?
According to newly available Health Canada statistics, 462 licensees owe the government more that half a million dollars for weed. And using collection agencies, the government has recovered a measly $2,000. This is a case of governmental mismanagement, plain and simple. A lot of conservatives talk about what the government can learn from (or outsource to) the private sector. But in this case, the government should take its cues from the criminal sector, which seems to be doing a much better job of supplying Canadians -- both sick and healthy -- with marijuana.
