re: #156 Anymouse

Well, I would argue that Canada could object: It’s parliament could prohibit Canadian firms from selling drugs across the border, for example.

Brooker did cede responsibility for his own citizens in favour of his states’ pharma companies.

And again, if Canada’s firms were suddenly squeezed by Americans purchasing drugs there, they would increase production: That’s how capitalism works.

If I had a say, it would be single-payer healthcare (but I don’t have a say). Since we cannot have that, and the right is always screaming about “free market,” well, let’s have a free market. Let Canadian firms compete here. (Oh wait, they aren’t in favour of competition, “free market” is another lie.)

As I said above, I won’t throw Sen. Brooker under the bus just yet, but I’ll be watching for signs he is going the way of Joe Manchin (D-Pharma) or Joe Lieberman (I-Insurance) - their real constituents.

I have a feeling that Booker isn’t like either one of those assholes.
