Auth is hard! Even when you're mostly doing it right, there are so many weird little corner cases. There's an amusing logical failure implied by this one:

If I try to search on https://rona.ca, and my auth cookie is expired, it asks me to login before it will execute the search.

I've seen this three separate times in the last 24 hours. They should really only be enforcing auth refresh if I try to do something that needs access to my user data, like checking out.

I feel incredubly lucky that we have much more sane policies surrounding access to controlled substances here in Canada. But I worry that the current medication disaster in the US could lead to large scale exports, causing shortages here too. The US really needs to get its act together when it comes to critical medications.
