Canadians are calling it C-Day. On Wednesday, Canada will legalize recreational cannabis use across the country. I'll be live on Periscope at 3 p.m. ET tomorrow at a pot lounge in Toronto, answering your questions & giving you a look at the festivities. Tweet me your questions.

So you'll be doing a story tomorrow that you could actually do today?
Well, it isn't legal to walk down the street right now in Toronto and smoke pot. It will be tomorrow.

Also - Toronto is probably the most recognizable-as-Canadian city for your readership...something tells me reporting from Regina wouldn’t have the same ring to it...or Kamloops...though they’d probably chuckle at the names.

We will be reporting from Montreal and Halifax also tomorrow. Not just Toronto. Oh, and Ottawa too for the politics of it all... And my colleague
@DanBilefsky was in Vancouver all week reporting from there on this. - 5 more replies

uhhh that still won’t be legal. the use of recreational cannabis is technically restricted to private residences only... are you even a reporter or just someone tweeting into the wind?

You can only do that with legally purchased weed which you won’t have. Since we have to wait to buy it online and have it shipped. Plus the stores are still illegal.

Is it legal to walk down the street smoking it? We can’t do that with cigarettes or pot (6 meters from doors and windows kinda limits most street side smoking).

Incorrect. Everyone smoking in Ontario tomorrow will be exposed as breaking current Ontario law and past Canadian law. Or if they buy their pot tomorrow, Al Capone style tax evasion. Do your story Thursday or Friday by following the mailman.

No. It won't be. You can't just walk around smoking pot in public.
