“There’s a lack of access to physicians,” Shoppers president Jeff Leger says. “One in five Canadians don’t have access to a primary care provider. There’s lots of great solutions, but they take time to mature, and get more doctors. So people are turning to pharmacists and other professionals to help fill those gaps.”

The people who fixed the price of your bread are now practicing disaster capitalism on our healthcare.

Hundreds of Loblaw’s own pharmacists have told the country’s largest pharmacy regulator that they have felt pressure to put the bottom line ahead of patient care.

Shockingly, they aren’t even doing a good job at it.
