Shoppers Drug Mart formally applies to distribute medical marijuana

Timing 4/4
The timing of this article deserves a 4/4. CBC posted this article only one day only one day after Shoppers Drug Mart applied to distribute medical marijuana. Also, the article was published at 9:09am, and then edited at 2:06pm, so obviously new information with be added in whenever they receive it.

Significance 3/4
I rated the significance of this article 3/4 because not everyone is interested in the distribution of medical marijuana, while others are constantly keeping updated on it. If someone is interested in medical marijuana prescribed from their doctor, they now know a drug store that will be distributing it.

Proximity 4/4
In Canada, medical marijuana is in midst of being possibly legalized in a limited fashion for recreational use. Soon enough, medical marijuana will be at the nearest drug store.

Prominence 3/4
This article is very prominent to people because medical marijuana is an important drug that could possibly be closely legalized, and knowing where it is distributed is important.

Human Interest 4/4
Humans are very interested in this topic because of the legalization of medical marijuana. It's very interesting and important to know where legalized marijuana is distributed.

The timing of this article is very accurate, as it was posted on October 25th, at 2:41, and on October 26th it was edited at 10:46; so obviously, new information is added when available.

Significance 2/4

Human Interest 3/4
This article is not necessarily extremely interesting and intriguing to all readers, but it is reasonably important especially to those people in the Saskatchewan village.
