@JohnnyWrathberg @marwilliamson The ads are very different. You can always spot the ads on US channels as they identify both a purpose and side effects, while Canadian ads share neither. 👍

@marwilliamson @Wontevertweet27 I'm pretty sure we're just watching American channels though. But yes we see pharma ads all the time

@marwilliamson I don't understand the claim....50% of the ads on Canadian Television are pharma too. It's non-stop.

Pharmaceutical ads on TV were not allowed until Ronald Reagan, and today the only developed nations that allow them are the United States and New Zealand.

This has contributed greatly to the overmedication of America - which is exactly what they are intended to do.

Taking…

The statement 'Thanks for the information' is a simple acknowledgment and does not engage substantively with the public issue being discussed, which is the presence and impact of pharmaceutical ads on television in different countries. The statement does not contribute to the civic dialogue or address societal issues, policies, or public concerns.
