Sundial has lost $142.1 million (net) so far this year (through Q3 fy 2020), bringing accumulated deficit since founded to $502 million.

Began cultivating pot in '12 & started selling in '18 after Canada legalized. Yet to generate an annual profit.

Stock near all-time high.
Can't forget about Tilray

Tilray has lost *$340 million through 3 quarters 2020, bringing its accumulated deficit since founded to *$923 million

$10.2 BILLION—Combined losses for Canadian cannabis producers in this thread since 2015-2016. (Cronos & Aphria excepted.)

For the most part they didn't bankroll those losses to fund future growth; LPs spent stupid money on low-worth assets so don't @ me something about Amazon
Bears repeating: The losses of a small number Canadian LPs - as large as they are - is not a reflection of the industry as a whole. It's a result of the poor decisions made by the boards of those businesses and their backers. There are plenty of successful operators in Canada.
