Don’t blame Canada for being against it. It is funny how DeSantis would celebrate getting cheaper drugs from “liberal” Canada- a country that as the article says negotiates drug prices with manufacturers. And the statement from Big Pharma on how this will harm public health is utter nonsense and fear mongering. Don’t insult our intelligence.

Another workout done. 96 upright rows in 14 minutes. It’s not heavy weight and it’s not a long time but every bit helps. I don’t get it done everyday but the goal is 10-15 minutes daily!
