Reply #14: Yes, we Canadians are dropping like flies

And it's a misnomer even to use the phrase "Canadian drugs".

Sure, we manufacture some here, but the vast majority of our drugs come from the same factory that yours do.

And furthermore, our Health Protection Branch, our equivalent to your FDA, was modelled on your FDA, using the same safety protocols and quality controls.

And in some ways, we've improved on that model. As a regulatory agency, we're MUCH less resistant to drug company influence. It's not zero, but at least they don't run our drug licensing process.
