In Ontario at least sales of alcohol and tobacco are very different from how cannabis is sold. Somebody not familiar with the country might say "well Dylan, that's Ontario, what about the other 12 provinces and territories?" but Ontario is over a third of the population so really it is the best one to use as an example instead of discussing the other 12 jurisdictions.

The federal government gets a quarter of the cannabis tax revenues (the remaining three quarters go to the province) capped at one hundred million with any overage going solely to the province so it really is a drop in the bucket at far as the fed is concerned.
