Korean convenience stores applaud anti-contraband initiative
TORONTO, May 28 /CNW/ - Ontario's 2,300 Korean corner store owners are delighted with the federal government's announcement today to combat illegal cigarettes.
"The Conservative government has listened to our community's cry for help to protect us against criminal smugglers," said Kenneth Kim, spokesman for the grassroots campaign.
