The Canadian healthcare system is experiencing an acute shortage of basic painkillers, particularly acetaminophen and ibuprofen, which are commonly used to relieve pain and fever in children during flu season.
Canada’s Association of Medical Assistance in Dying Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) chose this perhaps awkward moment to roll out a webinar for healthcare professionals that advised them to offer assisted suicide to their suffering patients.
As Canada’s National Post noted, doctors around the world are normally “explicitly prohibited or strongly discouraged” from bringing up the subject of euthanasia, even in jurisdictions where assisted suicide is legal.
Beginning with a “guidance document” published in 2019, CAMAP asserted that, on the contrary,

Coming to a nation near you. Leftists don't know how to run a lemonade stand, and eventually, the citizenry runs out of water and bread from their incompetence and evil schemes.
It's time to take names and build the gallows.

They're running out of acetaminophen and ibuprofen?! We're not talking heavy drugs here; we're talking about a lack of over-the-counter pain medication. They've lost their ever-loving minds if their solution is killing someone. Ramp up your pharmaceutical industry and MAKE more. One of the easy solutions, suggested in the article, is to eliminate the requirement to print labels in French & English. A label v. a life. SMH.

This is the outcome of government control of the pharmaceutical industry and the prices of drugs. Price controlled drugs means no reasonable profit so why bother to make the medication in the first place. Plus, the expensive discovery of new drugs comes to a halt because you can never make your R & D money back. Oh Canada, what a mess you are in.

Weird. I remember buying Tramadol in Canada because you didn't need a prescription there.

There was a time when Canada was filled with churches. Of course, there was a time when our country was filled with churches as well. Both countries need a revival.

So, that's what you get when you have "free" healthcare. Sarah Palin was right. Then, do you get a free funeral, too?

Can we all agree that the business of medicine is not to be trusted ever again?!
Vaccines are not to be trusted!
Hospitalists in ERs are not to be trusted!
The CDC and FDA need to be shut down!

Well, Globalists have to start somewhere with the bad news that there are simply too many of us humans. Start with Canada - mild white people with strict gun restrictions on the cusp of Winter. Introduce it there and work out any flack before we go global with new Population Reduction plan B.

I work with a Canadian and he's a nut.
Many come down with their big huskies -- they are not allowed to own the bully breed dogs in Canada you know.. My bullies out-performed their huskies every time. Their dogs don't follow their lead and are not in tune with them. They don't trust or truly know their own dogs. I'd wager my life on my dogs. My dogs are eager to please me.

So, better have some of your OTC painkillers of choice stocked up on the shelf, it would seem. It wasn't long ago that everyone was all excited about how wonderful the Canadian drug supply system was, lower prices was the claim. Looks like these come with lower availability, too. I have heard some real horror stories from Canadians about how hideously bad their health care system is if you need a joint replacement.
Short version, told to me by a Scottish immigrant engineer in Calgary, is that he wife started with some hip pain, and after months to see a doc, then many more months to see a specialist was "put on the waiting list" for a new hip. Two years later, now in a wheel chair and in great pain, he contacted his Scottish MD sister to see if it was possible to get a hip done there. She said, "Sure, if you can pay". They flew to Scotland and $50,000 out of his bank account later she had here new hip.
O, Canada!
For me, ibuprofen is as effective as taking nothing. Literally has zero effect on pain for me. Alternately, aspirin is very effective for me, as is acetaminophen, which is called paracetamol by the Brits, most call Tylenol here. Remember the name if you need to purchase some in England.
Naproxin works for me, too. OTC painkillers don't all work the same for different people. And apparently the Canadian health care system works badly for everyone.

"First, do not harm" must have been forgotten in Canada. But to answer ladydawgfan, "What in the holy heck is happening in Canada?? Have they lost their frickin' minds???"....The average Canadian has not lost their mind, but remember, Trudeau is a World Economic Forum follower and is thus a tyrant that is attempting to destroy his own country much like we have the democrats doing in this country.

Another thing about the Canadian health care system that people should be aware - Canada allows their doctors to perform x number of surgeries/year. Once they reach that number they cannot go beyond. If they use up their quota by June, that's it for the year. The govt will not pay beyond that. It stands to reason when the govt pays your salary and limits the amount of work you can perform, then apathy begins to invade the medical community in Canada.

If your kids are in pain and can't get Advil and Tylenol, just give them the bye-bye pill. Call it the humane thing to do. Then take one yourself.

How do you run out of acetaminophen and ibuprofen? That kind of shortage happens in failed states.

The legal requirement of all labels printed in English and French was agreed to by Trudeau's father, Pierre, in negotiations with crazy Quebecers back around 1980.
