Shoppers Drug Mart complaint: Misleading Magazine

I purchased The Essential Retirement Guide magazine at the above location. It is published by Centennial Media of Miami. Price $15.99.

I am a senior and always find beneficial information, especially about finances, such as CPP pensions, TFSAs, and more, in such publications.

I thought this was a Canadian-focused magazine. In the cover photo, is a stack of Canadian one hundred dollar bills with Borden clearly visible. And Canadian health care – Medicare OHIP. Nothing on the cover refers to it being American.

The content had nothing Canadian in it. Zero. Lots about finances for seniors in the US and their convoluted medical system.

This is a scam to get Canadians to buy an American magazine with little value, other than how to stay healthy in a general sense. The publication even has a section on Getting Scammed on page 93. LOL. I would have been pleased to buy it if the publisher had hired Canadian researchers to modify parts of it for Canadian readers.

We have enough misinformation in our society without this publisher, and Shoppers, adding more to the problem.
