A chop shop, brothel, dog fight pit or whatever, there are no regulations stating how you should be taxed, and there are no clear business license options. Under the new precedent, you just pay your fine and reopen your business.
Question for the CoV council, how many meters do you need to be away from a high school to pimp?

...Under the new precedent, you just pay your fine and reopen your business...
Or, in the CoV, get levied a fine, refuse to pay it AND keep your business open*
* as long as you supply "medicinal" products to Council members for free

Trust me.. they are supposed to be paying taxes.
I know you cannot comment officially, but hypothetically will CRA go after such businesses for non-payment of taxes?

I am surprised they were polite, so few criminals are.

So finally we have a BC Supreme Court ruling that states that municipalities can shut down illegal grow ops. As we all know, this has been the reason that Mayor Helps cites for not being able to act.
Any bets as to whether she knows admits her mistake and stops telling the police to ignore them?

^Or she is going to have to admit she supports them.
And perhaps even personally profits from them...

Laurie was speaking on behalf of Dominic Truong, who wants to open a dispensary called Pure Releaf at 510-512 Yates St.
His application for rezoning and licensing was deferred because another dispensary — Trees, already operating at 546 Yates St. — is located in the same block and applied for licensing first.
Under city policy, dispensaries are not to be located within 200 metres of each other.
Truong filed his application about a month after the Trees application was filed, Laurie said.
“Quick and easy solutions such as a first-come, first-served policy might work if you’re giving away a puppy, but I think the regulation of dispensaries is certainly more complicated than that,” he said.

Agreed, it is complicated; there is so little on the books about how to regulate illegal businesses, you'd almost think they shouldn't to exist at all.

I would think that posting on your facebook page that you are not going to collect taxes might motivate someone to complain to the CRA and the CRA to do something about it :-)

Yet another reason why the feds won't be legalizing pot any time soon.

Yet the CoV will continue to enable/license illegal businesses selling untested and potentially harmful "medicine".

Of course. And given that we have 40 "medicinal" outlets or so, why hasn't this been declared a public health emergency?

Crazy suggestion but maybe VicPD might want to consider enforcing the law?
