As I've stated numerous times in this very thread, anyone can purchase insulin in Canada without a prescription.
You have to ask the pharmacist for it, but it's available for anyone to pay out of pocket. Analog insulins included, you can get any kind you want OTC. No restrictions on pens or syringes either. I think you might be correct that "most 1st world countries" require a script but I can say for certain that Canada, most of the US, NZ, and a few European countries do not (though there may be limits as to the type). In some places a pharmacist may be leery about selling it without at least some kind of official letter/your old insulin box/other proof you're an actual diabetic, but that's a discretion thing, not an actual prescription requirement. Yeah it's "dangerous if overdosed" but so is fucking Tylenol, Canada chooses to err on the side of making it as accessible as possible so Type 1 diabetics don't clog up the ER or just fucking die if their doctor is lazy about renewing scripts (or save people pointless vet visits and possibly fees to get new scripts for diabetic pets).
It's all moot anyway, Chantal doesn't care and won't bother. If she was ever halfway consistent about insulin/meds for more than a couple of days at a time, it was only because Salah was on her ass about it.
Yeah, no she doesn't. This is barely, if ever, enforced. And in the cataclysmically unlikely event that they did, coverage is usually retroactive and they'd almost certainly bend the rules to waive the cost of any costly emergency treatment she gets anyway, at most she'd just have to appeal it. There are tons of old people who retired in the Caribbean and briefly set foot in Canada once every couple of years at most, but still have their health coverage active. They just have their children fill their scripts in Canada for them (drug coverage is included for 65+) and forward them in the mail. And yeah there is a hotline you could report them to for abusing benefits, but no matter how egregious the fraud or substantive the report, never in my life have I even peripherally heard about a single case where they've actually ever done jack shit.
I didn't really pick up on it at the time, but this is pretty unhinged. Once anyone makes the mistake of letting the Gunt get comfortable someplace, she believes herself entitled to some degree of permanent ownership of the domicile and its occupants. Recall that when she visits her family, her mother still has to leave her money for cleaning up after herself at the age of fucking 40. I don't doubt that she behaves like a gross slob and expects to be catered to, and she still uses their address for all kinds of stuff despite not living there for 20 years... once Gunt gets in your house, she just hangs around basically forever like a bad smell. Bibi was a pretty passive guy but even he knew he had to grow a pair and just put her shit outside, cut all contact, and change the lock if not move. Poor bastard probably had to have a priest come bless the house to ensure all lingering Gunt was exorcised permanently.
be narc injury. She knows if the facade is dropped, the reaction channels will eat it up. I bet she has nightmares about FFG cackling about it.
