It's not a stretch....you want to argue about some points I know to be fact. I have a financial stake in a Canadian Pharmacy and I've observed the drug brokering that goes on. My analysis is right on. It's not a slam on Canada! I don't view Canada as some third world country. But there are some dangers. Many of these come from corrupt business people but the danger is still there. Go back and show me where I said Canadian drugs were inferior - find a quote where I said that. <<"Vancouver is an international city with far reaching tentacles.">> Now that I did say. Asian money has been pouring into Vancouver - it's whats driving that city right now. Not all of the investment being directed into this industry (which again I have a stake in) is clean. Some drugs (not the majority) are being brought in from countries most sane people would even travel to let alone trust for their meds. <<It's too damn bad if a few STOOPID Americans can't sort out the good from the bad especially when it comes to their health.>> Talk like that is going to sink what is now a thriving industry. I've spent a great deal of time in Vancouver as well as other parts of Canada. I wouldn't be too quick to insult American intellect - eh. America has its share of drug issues and we aren't perfect. If you want to see an equally bad situation just take a tour of the North American version of needle park in your city. I've been there and watched it - it's bad - REAL BAD! I don't need a website to know whats up. I've talked to people from health and human services (with a pretty good degree of support for what I'm doing for seniors) from 21 states. I've also spoken to Tommy Thompson face to face and have the pictures to prove it. The funny thing is I have a financial interest in a Canadian pharmacy and I'm willing to honestly discuss the pitfalls of acquiring drugs this way. Other than Canadian pride, whats your reason for an attacking post? My cards are on the table - are yours?
