SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 14, 2026 – Canadian General Investments (CGI) has been building shareholder value for nearly a century, making it one of the longest-running investment vehicles focused on the Canadian equity market.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 28, 2025 – As cannabis edibles become more popular across Canada, new research from the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) and British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) is sending a clear message to drivers in BC: if you’re consuming edibles, you need to plan a safe ride home. A fresh two-part study shows that the impact of THC on driving is stronger and lasts longer than many people realize, especially several hours after eating an edible.

Edibles can impair driving for hours – not just a quick buzz

The CAA/BCAA research combines public opinion data with simulator-based testing carried out by the University of Saskatchewan. In the simulator, drivers who consumed cannabis edibles showed compromised reaction time, poorer lane discipline and weaker speed control – all critical skills for staying safe behind the wheel.
