At corporate pharmacies like Shoppers Drug Mart, pharmacists say they face overwhelming pressure from their parent companies to perform medically unnecessary tasks in the interest of profit.

    Shout out to my local pharmacist “Mr pharmacist” he does good work.

    You have to vote with your dollars. Stop giving Rexall and Shoppers (Gallen Weston of Epstein files fame) and go somewhere where your health-care is actually taken seriously.

      Trickier if your insurance company forces you to switch. I’d prefer to supoort the independent pharmacy my patient support program works with, but Canada Life refuses to give me the necessary medications unless I get it from their “preferred” pharmacy.
