agoodwinsmithWell, Global News is attempting to cast the decision as primarily a money grab, and it's certainly a little bit financially motivated, prolly, but I really think it is annoyance about the Provincial Government:

No gov't weed stores in Osoyoos - private or nothing.
And it might actually be *nothing* when 17 October 2018 rolls around. Not that I have any desire to get into retail again (shudder), but I have been checking my local city hall to see what process they have in place to approve (or not) a cannabis business in town. Zip. Zilch. There isn't even a business licence application form yet (I mean: there's a special form for opening a B+B, so *surely* ....).
A smaller town, about 20 kays away, has just said: nope nope nopity nope, and they are not permitting any cannabis stores in town. They've got as many liquor stores as we do, so I don't think it is puritanical fervor - I suspect their plan is to wait and see what kind of trouble other municipalities run into - and then reconsider.
It is going to be such a schmaaahhzzle.
