After two neighbouring municipalities opted out of cannabis stores, Toronto will debate whether to allow them in Canada`s largest city.
City staff recommends that privately run pot shops be allowed to operate in the city, otherwise it could encourage the illegal market.
Councillors in Toronto are set to debate whether to allow retail pot shops in Canada's largest city.
Yesterday, councillors in Mississauga and Markham voted to opt out of hosting privately operated retail cannabis stores, which are expected to open across Ontario next spring.
Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie and Markham's Frank Scarpitti both say there are too many unanswered questions.
Mayor John Tory says he will move a motion to allow pot shops even though he`s not satisfied with the way things are now.
