QUEBEC, B.C. ARE TOP MARIJUANA GROWERS
More marijuana plants are seized in Quebec and British Columbia than
any other province, a coalition of police and federal and municipal
authorities said yesterday.
Nearly 580,000 marijuana plants were seized in Quebec last year, while
police in British Columbia pulled up nearly 461,000 pot plants.
Ontario was a distant third with 232,000 plants seized.
Quebec's proximity to the U.S. border and B.C.'s mild climate were
cited as reasons for the high numbers of growers in those provinces.
