Amazing how all those “experts” can fuck it up so bad.
I think the goal was to reduce the backlog of cases in the courts. Free up policing resources to do other things. Reduce the number of people that are negatively impacted for the rest of their lives from having a criminal record. Eliminating an underground economy is a strong positive for society.

It has accomplished all of that.

As for the supply chain. I don't know that industry well enough. The big "corporate" guys look to have run into financial problems across the industry. Perhaps they though the industry was going to be bigger than it is.

Around the city I see a lot of dispensaries in Victoria. Probably more than the number of liquor stores. I would not have expected that market to be that large but I guess it is. Alcohol sales are down, that is likely a good thing.

Reduced sales into China.

We need to get a handle on the export of raw materials from Canada. We should be forcing some degree of processing and manufacturing to stay in Canada.
