New Cannabis Ventures reports that the slight month-over-month dip in sales was also mirrored in the U.S.
Quebec saw the biggest drop in sales, from $48 million in Oct. 2020 to just under $45 million in Nov. 2020.
While Ontario has picked up the pace with its retail offerings, Quebec’s government monopoly on retail has led to fewer than 50 stores opening across the second-most populous province in the country.
Ontario saw the largest increase in year-over-year sales, from $31 million in Nov. 2019 to $83 million in Nov. 2020, representing a 168 per cent increase.
