CBC here has been reporting all day on an issue of naked capitalistic power being exercised against the Canadian government.

It regards Epi-Pens. Most nations with single payer or socialised medicine are outraged at the huge price hike in Epi-Pens and are demanding the prices be lowered. Pfizer is telling Canada “too bad, and by the way, there’s going to be a shortage of Epi-Pens in your country.”

Health Canada is telling people who rely on the pens that if you are stuck with expired ones and that’s all you have, use them.
