GabeFriedz French?

GabeFriedz Tylenol's primary ingredient is Acetaminophen. Buy the generic. Identical & cheaper. If you insist on Tylenol, buy the adult bottle and cut it to the dose you want. Serve it on a spoon with jam to your kids.

GabeFriedz What's with the past tense article? Again? How about it hasn't improved in the slightest.

GabeFriedz FYI, there is currently a shortage of children's Tylenol.

GabeFriedz cross the border or go to Europe, shelves are full

GabeFriedz Trudeau & his natzee clan

GabeFriedz Actual shortages can only be explained by government regulation (price controls, artificial restrictions, or both).

GabeFriedz Okay but who is to blame? Why was it so severe in Canada? Why could parents go to the USA to find some? Or bring a bag full back from Mexico?

GabeFriedz In untelated new...kids are overwhelming ERs but of coursenit has nothing to do with shortages of the medicines that parents would normally use to treat their kids at home....

GabeFriedz NationalPost finds the least objective person to come on their show and swear up and down that the prolonged Children's Tylenol shortage wasn't because of French labelling rules. For its part, TorontoStar reports that it's exactly what the problem was:

GabeFriedz Article doesnt really answer its headline, what specifically is 'fragile, opaque' about the pharmaceutical supply chain?

GabeFriedz Judges, lawyers and cops are proof that there is no rule of law in Canada. They do things that would put normal people in jail or have consequences. Local media has ignored this problem ruthlessly and helped these bad actors stay hidden. For example:

GabeFriedz

GabeFriedz Tylenol (acetaminophen) is really bad for the liver. I don’t think it should ever be given to children.

GabeFriedz Because our premiers who are responsible for health care have failed us and we all got sick

GabeFriedz Because Canada has 2 languages. Which is tres stupid.
