LIBERAL DRUG PUSHERS: Communities across Ontario cannot opt out of hosting a government-run pot shop if they are selected for a site

Communities across Ontario cannot opt out of hosting a government-run pot shop if they are selected for a site, the provincial government said Friday after at least one town expressed resistance to having a cannabis retail location.

If a community is selected to host one of the marijuana shops, it could delay hosting the store but cannot completely opt out of having it, said Ontario’s Ministry of Finance.

“As we roll-out the next phase of stores, we will continue to engage with municipalities on an ongoing basis including with those municipalities who may not be ready for a store opening in July 2018,” said Jessica Martin, spokeswoman for Finance Minister Charles Sousa.
