A Place to Grow

As Canada’s most populous province, Ontario is widely regarded as the most consequential jurisdiction for Canada’s newly legalized recreational industry.

On this week’s episode of Legalized, we are joined by Cal Bricker, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario Cannabis Store to discuss the opportunities and the vision for the year ahead as the constantly shifting cannabis industry continues to mature.

The Cannabis Bubble

Driven by a media frenzy of promise and potential, the Canadian cannabis industry was a market favourite as Canada moved towards legalization. But tides have turned.

On this week’s episode of Legalized, we are joined by Globe and Mail business journalists, Mark Rendell and Tim Kiladze whose recent article “All dried up: How Bay Street cashed in on the cannabis frenzy before the carnage” takes an in-depth look at the industry’s current state of play. Listen in to learn all about we got here in relation to the promise that surrounded the industry a year ago and what the industry can do to reclaim its position of strength.

Sleeping with an Elephant

The legalization of cannabis gave Canadian Licensed Producers a leg up on their counterparts in the U.S. and globally. But as the industry grows south of the border, is Canada’s first-mover advantage at risk?

On this week’s episode of Legalized, we are joined by Elisa Kearney, a partner at Davies Ward & Vineberg LLP and member of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s National Cannabis Working Group; as well as Michell Osak, a partner at MNP LLP and a leader of MNP’s cannabis consulting practice. Our panelists, who have advised businesses on both sides of the border, provide industry-leading insights into cannabis in the United States, and reverberations in Canada.

Bud and the Ballot Box

Legalized is back for Season 4 and there’s no better time to examine the successes, challenges, and opportunities facing Canada’s newly legalized cannabis industry.
