Two Dollarama 🪙 — Meta opens a new office in TO. The Dollarama isn’t really a dollar store anymore. And the US could be moving towards cannabis legalization.
Description
This week, Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, announced its building an engineering hub in downtown Toronto and will look to hire 2,500 skilled workers to build technology for the metaverse. Remember when things at the dollar store were actually $1? That hasn’t been the case at Canada’s largest dollar store chain since early 2009. We explore why. After slow but steady declines in recent months (and years) Canadian cannabis companies are seeing a surge as the US House of Representatives votes tomorrow on a bill that would declassify marijuana as a controlled substance on a federal level and potentially open the market for Canadian cannabis companies.
