Happy to hear this, but concerned that they would even think to try this in the first place.

Manulife thought they could sneak it in under the radar. One wonders what else they've done that's gone unnoticed.

Telus is forcing their employees (just Telus Health, as telus proper has unions) to use their Virtual pharmacy. 1-3 days for meds to make it to your door and no other pharmacy is covered. I really hope it's leaked soon and they also go back on this.

Could you image your meds are late and having to call support, or having surgery and waiting 3 days for pain meds? Fuck.

Drop a line to a news outlet. I'm sure someone like CBC marketplace would love to break the story.

They're doing it and they're NOT backing down. It's been made very clear people are not happy, some have straight up said they'll quit to upper management.

As I understand it, Quรฉbec is the only place telus can't do this because it's not going to affect them.
