In 2021, Trudeau was trying to acquire COVID vaccines into Canada, as Mulroney had sold off all vaccine production capacity in Canada.
Trudeau signed a secret deal to get these vaccines in from Pfizer and Moderna. Why this was a secret was never explained. Since that deal, US FDA approvals are being rubber stamped by Health Canada, and the CDN formulary is paying extra billions for US drugs that have been proven ineffective.
Record breaking lobbying by pharmacare companies is what happened.
Boycott greedy Blue Cross, Manulife, Greenshield and Sun Life.
H…how? For anyone who is in private insurance sure but most people get insurance via work and you cant opt out unless you have equivalent or better insurance elsewhere and its likely more expensive if you have the ability to go elsewhere because workplaces are able to negotiate lower costs due to size.
Im all for boycotting, been doing so myself for american goods for example, but truly how the hell do you think this is a meaningful solution?
I know not everyone has management power.
You can point to a lot of things, but a central problem is Mark Carney. If there’s no profit (short-term!) to be made, he won’t spend a dime on it. Basic research, climate change mitigation, food inspection, and healthcare are all meeting the economist’s axe.
MC is investing tons into ai and DCs
So do you think ai is profitable, or do you admit your statement is in error? Either is fine.
Basic research has been in retraction since Trudeau took office. With the collapse of the NIH, Carney responded with flat budgets because Canadian researchers now have nowhere to go to properly fund research.
Canada spends $18B/yr in public funds on drugs. We spend $400B in healthcare, we barely spend $1.3B on biomedical research. Historically, the US took up the slack with $38B in spending but Trump ended that and the entire G8 has done nothing to address this.
Still lots of money for planes and tanks.
Basic research has been in retraction since
TrudeauHarper took office.
Susan Holt🔴 decided to go against her promises to invest into healthcare by refusing to sign onto pharmacare. New Brunswick deserves better.
The liberals are lying about supporting pharmacare, they would rather people die than stand up for canadians.
