“Tell Us What You Think”

 

They want to consult “at length”

where to sell pot

in Ontario.

 

Will delay store openings

by half a year.

 

But

issue is important,

deserves stakeholder input.

Citizen involvement and

public deliberation

key to moving forward.

 

They do not consult on small things:

dropping Cap-and-Trade Program,

scraping Basic Income Pilot Project,

cancelling renewable energy contracts,

axing fund for school repairs,

suspending plans for overdose prevention sites,

slashing Toronto City Council by half,

repealing sex-ed curriculum, and

telling brewers

what the price of beer should be.

 

Campaign slogan

says it all:

 

For The People
