British Columbia Premier to Step Down This FallOne more potential catalyst. A change of Premier in BC might reactivate discussions on the 20% tax the province is the only one to impose in Canada on cannabis vapes, which limits Nextleaf progression towards profitability.
Any tax is good to take for the NDP government, but what about the objectives of going against the illicit market and making BC the national leader in the cannabis industry? It's a long shot, but the next Premier might have a different appreciation of the matter. Especially ahead of a provincial election, with the Cannabis Table going on in Ottawa and looking at ways to help the industry.
