    Hmm, maybe there are particular challenges to free medications? Even Quebec’s most left-wing mainstream party, Québec Solidaire, doesn’t quite go as far as free drugs for all, afaik.

      Tons of countries offer free contraceptives and some (including France) offers free condoms (to those aged 18 to 25 in France). Free pill and IUD are coming to Canada as well (announced in March).
