The opposing parties aim is to make the Liberals look bad by not keeping an election promise. The Liberals know how important legalization is and will push it through. In the end, it really does not matter what some of these premiers do because we will also have a federal wide mail order for the provinces that are too slow. What the heck have some of these premiers been doing all this time anyway as the whole legalization process has not been some secret.

Trudeau might want to "rush" things....but if tthe Provinces clearly are not ready,he may have to make concessions to the Senate.

It seems ludicrous for him to force it upon a country that is ill-prepared and saying that people can get their weed thru mail order. I just cannot see that happening.

Some provinces say they will be ready, so why hold back for a couple of provinces that "say" they need more time. If they need more time then we have a federal system in place for those provinces, and federally we will be fully legalized - order direct from LP

This is too far along to hit the pause button for a couple slow provinces. Also, look at the support C45 has had from the first two readings - legalization will happen and on time.
 

Also, here is the follow-up to the article you posted about Brian Pallister wanting more time.

I do realize that Trudeau wants this....but is isn't a slam-dunk.
