The National Post reports in its Saturday edition that rival factions in a dispute over the sale of marijuana in Algonquin territory say their struggle is a sign that federal cannabis laws are failing first nations. The unbylined item quotes Chief Jean Guy Whiteduck as saying that the Cannabis Act, which comes into effect on Oct. 17, does not give first nations the tools to regulate and restrict the sale of cannabis on their territories. He fears this could give rise to "outlaw country" on the Kitigan Zibi reserve in northwest Quebec. "In Quebec, the sale of cannabis will go through provincially run stores, and I don't think that takes remote communities like ours into account," said Whiteduck, a long-time chief in the Algonquin community. "If we don't have the power to regulate our own markets, you'll see illegal dispensaries pop up like cigarette shacks."
