The issue is that there is no real competition for drug pricing in Canada due to the fact that the Canadian government imposes price controls. You are, of course, free to argue that this is a better way of doing things. But it's not "competition."

So there's no way for a company to compete on how to hit that price threshold while still turning a profit?
Clearly Canadian system is flawed and unable to viably finance modern drug development.
