Canada's Internet Online Economy is estimated to be 3.6% of total GDP for 2016. That's 45 Billion! I'll say that again, 45 Billion Canadian dollars out of 1.55 Trillion will be directly related to the online, Internet economy. And estimated 5.5% for all developed nations.
Of course that leaves a whole lot of bricks and mortar marketplaces. But one would be foolish to negate the fact that a very fast growing part of Canadian and Global Economy choose to shop online. Heck, Bobby, your online right now, on ihub, on a stock forum that traditionally was a pullout page in a news paper, or a bunch of guys hollering over sheets at a stock exchange.
You don't speak for everyone. So speak for yourself and allow others to do the same.
I shop online All the time, every opportunity I can, because it is convenient. I used to go to the outlet stores and have to drive from one retailer to the next comparing product and prices. I found that to be a waste of my time and energy (gas) when I could do the same thing at my kitchen table while having a chat with my family. And while I'm there, heck, I might as well just order the thing and have it delivered to my door. Voila! Welcome to the 21st century.
I just had a half ounce of premium Cannabis hand delivered to my doorstep by Canada Post, a crown corporation, at no cost....
Who's complaining? Not me. And not the other folks contributing 45 Billion Dollars to the Internet economy to purchase everything from a dating service to a news paper publication, to cannabis.
The day will come when we all have the option of going into a Better By Tweed, or whichever distribution centre you prefer to purchase your Cannabis. But for now, it's not legal. Which is also one of the reasons 38% of Canadians Voted in a Majority Liberal Government. So give them some time to work on yours and other Canadians behalf to get this done. In the meantime , enjoy your MMAR authorization and let the Folks under the MMPR enjoy there's.
