'I have a number of colleagues and friends in the industry who have had their stores held up at gunpoint and have had assaults happen inside their stores ... That opportunity is very real because of those window coverings.'
The gloominess comes from the frosted windows that adorn K's Pot Shop in Leslieville, blocking out the weather or even who is about to walk into her store.
"Ontario retail cannabis stores are able to make their own decisions as how they meet the standards, and as such are not required to cover their windows or block visibility into the store," said spokesman Raymond Kahnert in an email. "Use of violence and weapons has occurred in some commercial robberies, and the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission is concerned for the safety of staff, customers and responding police officers," Dave Berry, the regulator's executive vice-president, said in an August letter to stores announcing the change.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have to have opaque windows, if you have a regulation that says you can't see any cannabis or cannabis products from the street and you have a storefront that's all windows," she said.
