Ed Clark to head LCBO in the age of recreational marijuana

Premier Wynne was battening down the hatches Wednesday in preparation for the 2018 general election. She said goodbye from the cabinet room to Deb Matthews, Liz Sandals and Brad Duguid as she elevated three rookies to cabinet. They are Nathalie Des Rosiers, Daiene Vernile and Harinder Malhi. It was a broadly-based shuffle and the portfolios are here.  At the same time, the CBC says a durable friend of the Liberal government, W. Edmund (Ed) Clark, has been tapped to oversee the future of wine, liquor, beer and marijuana sales in Ontario. Mr. Clark, a former CEO of the TD Bank,  accessed the bank’s top job from the Canada Trust side after the merger of 2000.
