Rift Valley Resources (RVR.C): Rural internet through TV signals? Hmm..
Sometimes bringing on a new client in my line of work can be a tricky business. Because we stand behind our much ballyhooed commitment to present you unbiased coverage on the companies we write about, whether they pay for our attention or not, we sometimes have to deal with the experience of firms that aren’t…

Yield Growth Corp (BOSS.C) secures hemp/oil facility, pays cash for it like a boss
In this era of companies looking to buy low value/high priced assets as expensively as possible to ensure ponzi-like market cap bumps, I can appreciate when a company finds a reasonably priced asset with real world revenues and functionality, that one can see for ones self if one takes a drive down Highway 1. I…

Westleaf (WL.V) brings prairie focus, first nations connections, novel ideas
I first heard about the Prairie Records cannabis retail business model mid last year. And my first thought upon seeing it was, this will never be allowed. Basically, instead of keeping everything behind glass and having consumers guess as to what weed they’re looking at and what it will do, Westleaf’s retail model is to…

Cannara Biotech (LOVE.C) makes MedMen look like a charitable institution
Cannara Biotech (LOVE.C) is a pig. I mean, okay. Pigs are actually kind of cool, they’re smart and bacon tastes good and they like a tummy rub, so Cannara is not actually a pig. But it is a trap for your money, and you should ideally not play with money traps because their sole purpose is,…

Aphria (APHA.T) ‘Special Committee’ confirms short seller conflict of interest allegations
Several months ago, Aphria (APHA.T) lost a good chunk of its worth when short sellers accused the company executive and board of (in a nutshell) feathering their own nests by agreeing to acquire properties from themselves, for much inflated prices. Today, after a ridiculously long wait which involved the CEO stepping sideways from his position…

Dispensing dispensary wisdom: Solo Growth (SOLO.V) plays the long game
In early 2018, Aurora Cannabis (ACB.T) made one of their most interesting asset acquisitions to date, when it bought into the Liquor Stores N.A. chain, snaring 19.9% for $103.5 million. It was the sort of balls out deal Aurora is famous – or infamous, depending on your viewpoint – for, bursting out into a new…

Weed company house cleaning: Bonify loses its LP license but grownups are emerging
“We couldn’t be happier to let registered patients know that they can now buy direct from Bonify, a company that truly puts its customers at the core of everything we do,” said company CEO and President Dalbir Bains, back in June 2018, when the company got its Health Canada cannabis sales license. “With the Canadian…

SLANG Worldwide (SLNG.C): I have seen the future of cannabis, and this is it
That’s a pretty salesy headline, huh? I mean, I couldn’t have given a higher five to a company in an ultra competitive space with billions in valuations flying around the world than to say, ‘this is the future.’ What I’m suggesting is, one company is on the ultra right path, and not many others are.…

Mining for minors: Time for resource companies to figure out the money is in millennials
In 2015, when we started this outfit, our business model was to steer clear of conventional wisdom and the same old pubco marketing techniques, and instead focus on rich niches. Honest coverage of client companies that is negative when justified was one niche. Being inclusive of women was another. And appealing to a younger investor…

Let’s talk weed infrastructure: 3 Sixty Secure Corp (SAFE.C) to debut Tuesday
I’ve not exactly been hiding my opinion that a lot of weed investments right now are overpriced market plays that, when the rubber hits the road, will struggle to do real business. The reasons for that are many, but mostly apply to really big valuations attached to what are really agri plays. If you don’t…
