    One of my kids just started on 2 different medications in Canada and we had no problem. Wouldn’t have even thought there were shortages elsewhere

      It’s because of how your province negotiated the contract for the drugs. I guarantee that there’s language in there that has penalties if there’s supply problems.

      Countries that don’t negotiate drug prices/contracts are the ones that are suffering with shortages.
