Ontario's first brick-and-mortar cannabis stores are set to open today, but it's unclear just how many will be ready to serve customers.
The Progressive Conservative government had planned to have 25 stores across the province launch today, but some are still working through a lengthy approval process.
The Tory government had initially said there would be no cap on the number of retail shops after pot was legalized. Stores that fail to open today face escalating penalties, but the government has said it won't rush the vetting process.
