You know the worst thing about this story ?

Alberta paid more than 6 times usual price for pain medications in $70-million import deal
Alberta purchased children’s pain medication from Turkey at a price more than six times greater than what the provincial health authority normally pays for the same volume of product, according to documents obtained by The Globe and Mail.
The Alberta government explained in 2022 that the manufacturer required a minimum order of five million bottles - or $70-million worth of drugs - to get the deal done. But a briefing note, obtained by The Globe, indicates the health authority could have reduced its total bill by ordering less medicine, albeit at a higher price per bottle.
5 million bottles equated to roughly eight bottles for every child in the province.

Bold of you to assume the people who would make excuses for this would ever even read CBC or any news sources that cover anything bad about the Alberta government.

A small price to pay to lock in that sweet 10% discount. Too bad the drug was a syrup that was too thick to use by Alberta’s on standard. Winning!

It says they normally buy this volume? I’m confused
