border cities: DARRYL DYCK / THE CANADIAN PRESS By Tiffany Gooch Sun., May 28, 2017 Marijuana legalization was a key pillar of the Liberal platform in the 2015 election and the successful implementation of this promise will be a defining moment for the Trudeau government and its legacy, according to Toronto Star. The definition of success for this mammoth policy file varies greatly depending on who is being consulted.

Border cities are grappling with the tourism implications. Provincial governments are watching closely to identify their own steps forward. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
