COMMENT:
"Works on a lot less"?? LOL! Canadian biomed research doesn't do much
work at all, so far as I can see. Whereas in theory, since the
incorruptable Canadian system is free of the corrupt FDA and corrupt US
Pharm industries, it should be free to pump out new efficacious and
safe medications with the incorruptable efficiency of....metaphor
search.... Sergeant Preston of the Yukon RCMP. ("On King! On you
huskies...")

Did I miss something? I don't see all these marvels coming down from
Canada these days. The only thing I see coming DOWN is Canadian biotech
stock prices.

COMMENT:
Canada uses all those same drugs, so I'm told (though I still can't
discover if you can get Lamasil pills for your ugly toenails in
Canuckistan, and if you can, how much they cost). If these drugs you're
talking about are truely as expensive and dangerous as you say, why do
you import them at all? Isn't there something homeopathic or locally
invented you can use, instead? Flavored moose droppings, or something?

No, I have to admit that Canada has been pretty smart about hanging
back and cloning technologies that first prove themselves elsewhere.
That's a good way to save money, all right. Gosh, we're sure stupid for
not doing that here in the US. I don't KNOW why we didn't think of it.
Thanks for pointing that out.

PS. Now, how are we supposed to get Canada's strategy to work down
here, again?
