Back Alley Deal

Ontario’s pandemic response seems awfully… privatized.

Shoppers Drug Mart has been vying for lucrative govt COVID19 contracts & began selling rapid testing kits this week.

What back room deals is Doug Ford making?

Am I naive to be surprised that Ford’s head of pandemic response, Emily Beduz, was previously a paid lobbyist for Shoppers Drug Mart? The revolving doors move fast enough to make your head spin.

Editor’s Note: There is no evidence that the provincial government sold federally-provided rapid testing kits to Shopper’s Drug Mart. However, there remain questions about the whereabouts of said federally-provided kits.
