This might be a wild take, but your taxes shouldn't be subject to profiteering just because it's to save lives. They should instead, at a minimum, be subject to reasonable price caps to combat racketeering.

Edit: Especially when Canada is only vulnerable to it in the first place thanks to neoliberal policies privatizing Connaught Labs, gutting their research and quality, yet still somehow increasing prices.
