Wait ... you mean the Canadian government is willing to step in to make sure their people can get access to medications? Isn't that communism or something?

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that Florida has like 21 million people in it - more if you count snowbirds (which you know they'll take advantage of 'living' in Florida to get cheap drugs). And Canada has like 38 million people. Tossing an extra 21 million people onto Canada's stuff supply is absolutely going to wreck their system.

Wouldn't snowbirds just load up before leaving our socialist paradise for the winter?

I have a hunch it's them telling all their Bridge partners about how they access medication that contributed to popular support for this. :)
