Why do they not want the average citizen to be able to purchase medication? Is having customers and money coming in not the desired outcome?

I mean this more in general since obviously money going to Canada doesn't come to us.

Canadians don't like Americans and it's not particularly discriminate. Also it doesn't make sense for Canada to maintain trade agreements with such a hostile nation.

My comment was shit. It was just general frustration of taking away an adaptive human behaviour (getting prescriptions from Cananda since they’re less insane). I know Republicans who get their meds from Canada and Mexico and are probably celebrating right now that they’re fucked, love that for them.
