Having given plasma a few times recently, donors absolutely need to be paid in order to be sustainable. It’s a few hours of your time, definitely not something you can do on a lunch break like a blood donation.
This will be difficult too, [the US represents about 70% of the global market](https://business.cornell.edu/article/2025/05/the-global-plasma-economy/). The alternative would be offering compensation for plasma donations, but there are tradeoffs associated with that.
I’m donating blood today, and I’m bringing a group of friends with me. Canada doesn’t produce enough donor blood to meet our domestic needs and that means we need to import it from the US, not only is it a massive vulnerability but it costs our healthcare billions of dollars.
If you’ve ever boycotted US products, and you can donate blood, you should go do. They do walk ins, it’s 20-30 minutes of your time every two months, it can save up to three lives, and it’s great for Canada. You can even brag about it, theres no good reason not too.
