And overcharging cancer patients even more is probably not going to be popular.

I’m saying that won’t be a factor in their decision. In a sane world, you would want to avoid that. Over here in the Land of the Free, y’all can raise our costs by 25% and the people at the top will pander about how unfair the 35% increase is while pocketing the extra money the whole time. When all news sources a person gets parrot that same information repeatedly, the populace buys in.

Do you think he's doing this because he thinks it's a popular decision?

I'm saying you probably want to make sure you hit corporations and the wealthy where it hurts, not cancer patients. Otherwise you risk turning the popular sentiment that is generally in favour of Canada against them.
