I doubt Canada has the capacity to totally pick up the slack. To do so, we need a lot more investment.
Which is why I am saying that I am not sure pirate generics are the answer.
Less dependence on the US is a win either way.

In the short term perhaps. Longer term, our problem is the lack of continued innovation by American drug companies. As the article states, we need to drive investment ourselves. We cannot do that through forced generics though.
We do not need US style price gauging but drug companies need to make money in Canada if we want them to solve future health problems.
This maintainer is pulling rank on those below him. He is causing people making good contributions to Linux to quit the project. Yet he cannot handle his own decisions being overridden and he is attempting to force his agenda by threatening to quit.
His says that he cannot abide by a mixed code base and that, if that is the way Linux goes, he will “spend his time doing something else”.
Well, the time for that argument was a while ago. It was already decided to make Linux a mixed code base. If this maintainer is saying that he cannot support this decision, he needs to go at some point. What makes him better than all the people he is causing to quit?
If Linus does let this stand, it is a total failure of leadership.
The Linux Project either needs to accept technically sound Rust contributions or it needs to acknowledge that it is abandoning its Rust experiment.
After that response, I wish he was in charge of the project.
Do you have a link to that?
I think you meant east.
With the number of Canadians leaving Florida, I don’t expect you will be needing much home construction soon.
The parallel is the country that Europe either appeases or opposes.
I hope they get it right this time.
If Trump takes Canada, he better occupy it and not integrate it politically.
Adding 40 million people to the US population without representation seems unlikely. With representation, that many people with Canadian opinions will mean no more Republican House or President for generations. Are the 10 provinces getting senate seats? 2 each? Never another red senate if that happens. Electoral College votes?
Honestly, he is going to add the second largest country in the world as a single state? Good luck.
Will 51st state Canadians be able to move to other parts of the US? Because just the snowbirds already there would turn Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Nevada blue overnight.
I actually agree with you. I think there needs to be a global summit right now. Every country but the US is invited.
We need to figure out how everybody can stop buying or selling to the US immediately. We need to reflow trade to make that happen.
Yes, it will be painful. But, in my view, it needs to happen.
Too many Americans think the rest of the world can afford to think of Individual Americans right now.
The USA is attacking other countries. What individual US citizens think about that is irrelevant unless they can stop him. If they cannot, the rest of us need to treat the US as a single entity and defend against it accordingly.
[edit: responded to the wrong comment. Moved]
I guess my comment here would be that you may not have either of them soon. Trump has talked about cutting military spending in half. He is certainly not going to spend that on healthcare.
