Ontario Premier Doug Ford fires back at cannabis critics, pledges to lead country in pot shop outlets  
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has some sharp words for cannabis company executives who blamed Ontario for its part in causing an industry-wide slump last year. “Maybe I’ll shoot back a little bit. They didn’t have the supply ready,” Ford said during an interview on BNN Bloomberg Thursday. “Keep in mind it’s only been a little over a year and a bit and we’re opening up to the market.” Ontario currently has 28 legal pot stores open, compared with 402 in Alberta, but provincial regulators have more than 600 applications for new pot shops licences waiting for approval. “We’re going to open up stores,” Ford said. “We’re going to have more stores than all the provinces combined, so we’re going to make everything we can to help the cannabis industry.”
