Laboratories in Toronto and Montreal once produced groundbreaking shots for polio, diphtheria, and tuberculosis, among others. But poor business models and privatization programs eventually led to those companies being sold off to foreign multinational pharmaceutical companies. Today, even if a Canadian vaccine candidate is proven effective, the companies developing them lack the means to produce them here.
Just one more reason why we here in Canada have to stop relying on other countries, and step up to the plate, and not be afraid of what other countries think or do for that matter.
Welcome to my little corner of the countryside, where storytelling meets the everyday joys of woodworking, farming, and gardening. I’m GW, a writer and published author with over thirty years of experience. Here, I’m eager to share the lessons and stories from a life spent writing and working with my hands. Join me as we explore the practical and rewarding side of country life—from crafting wooden pieces to tending the land and growing gardens. Each post reflects the wisdom gained from a long journey of writing and living close to nature.
