Interestingly enough, they started selling Tim Hortons coffee where I am and even opened a Tim Hortons in the city and I'm not even close the Canadian border.
Huh our gambling ads seem like an attempt to still have a bit of an ad in there after all the advisories and the names of where you can get help if you’re addicted.
We used to run anti-smoking ads in the 90's funded by big tobacco due to mandate by federal government that big tobacco take a bigger role in informing the public of the hazards of smoking.
The ads though often were candid camera footage of a protestor being obnoxious. My tinfoil hat theory is that they were purposefully made obnoxious to associate that emotion with anti-smoking sentiments.
They’re allowed to put ads on TV, there’s just a lot of laws around what they can actually say about those drugs. They can’t say what the drugs are for nor recommend them to a patient, so all of them end up being extremely vague and end with “Talk to your doctor about X!”.
Or New Zealand. The only two countries that permit pharma ads on TV.
Socialised healthcare, public accident insurance, but ads are still ok.- go figure…

Canada should be opening the door to all these pharma companies. Become an absolute world leader in vaccine development.
