Lobbying Interesting to see which Cannabis Co's are most active in their lobbying efforts in the past 12 months:
MedReleaf - 19;
Canopy - 17;
Emblem - 16;
National Access - 14;
Aphria - 2;
Organigram - 1;
Cronos - 1; and
Green Orgranic Dutchman - 1.
That's of course no guarentee of anything. Just interesting.
Here's the main lobbyist for Emblem, Marc Desmarais. He's Vice President of National Public Relations (One of, if not the, largest PR firms in Canada).
National's clientele include: Ford, Bombardier, Lockheed Martin, Canada Jetlines, Activia, Cocego, Atlantic Credit Unions, Quebec Association of Pharmacy Owners, the list goes on and on...including speechwriting for Justin Trudeau (can't be too bad an association to have).
