Ontario municipalities may be able to opt out of marijuana stores when cannabis is legalized next summer after all. The province appears to be doing an about face on an earlier statement that communities won’t have a choice in the matter. Friday, a spokeswoman for Ontario’s Finance Minister said communities could delay, but not refuse to host a marijuana shop.
