You got that right. Big Pharma hates Canada, as everything becomes generic very quickly and very cheap. The still unresolved murder of the owner of the largest generic company here (Apotex, I dare somebody here to tell me they've ever had Diazepam that wasn't Apo-Diazepam on the label), they make pretty much everything for very cheap, generic oxycontin (old formulation emulation too) costs me very little for 60x60mg APO-Oxycodone CR, instead of that unchewable OxyNeo crap, which is very expensive when over the 15mg ones for a monthly fill. Him and his wife were murdered flawlessly through strangulation in their own backyard despite all of the security they had. Could only have been done by big P professional hitmen.
The Unsolved Murder Of An Unusual Billionaire (bloomberg)...there's likely better articles somewhere else but it's the first coming up on duckduckgo
Apotex are as huge as some of big pharma up here, they're almost always the first company to bring in a very cheap generic...I remember, thankfully, my mother's prescription of Cymbalta (mostly for nerve pain and fatigue, it works for her at 30mg, I don't mind, despite telling her she might as well ask for the Seligiline transdermal stamps than trusting an SNRI), she got it in 2014 and it was really expensive, her private work insurance paid all of it but she had to pay it first and send them the bill in the mail and wait a week...well into close to 200 bucks a month, when generics showed up in 2017 or 2018, the first ones were Apotex and she didn't notice a difference, but when her pharmacy gave her Riva (another generics company, pretty big too, they make generic oxycontin too, all of those who do are pretty damn billion dollar companies) and it didn't work for her, don't remember. Apotex do a better job than most at making generics and I bet they are hated deeply by the CEO's of Big Pharma, I don't consider generics companies evil per se, they cook what's been shown to work since a long time and sell it for a fraction of the original and still make massive profits....something that's hard to understand outside of Canada/Scandinavia....I would have said Australia in the past but....that country went really down the shitter with the covid paramilitaries everywhere arresting people for speaking or taking a break on a park bench when taking one's daily walk (it was a pregnant woman too), it's like in the hot zones of the US in summer 2020 everywhere all the time over there, I doubt they are gonna be first in HDI next time, Norway will get back there again I bet, especially since they removed all covid restrictions and insanity and did like their previous rulers, the Swedish did from the start and leave it to the individual, but I'm drifting a bit too political now...I'll show myself out
