this is what pisses me off with Canada and drugs. We let the US FDA do all the testing, use on their population then years later Canada says it must be safe.

All to save money. But could you imagine the jobs created in research if Canada decided to test pharma drugs with our own labs.

I'm not making this up, I worked in pharma for years. Canada has the lowest rate of R&D jobs in the developed world.


@Adam... I'm not surprised Canada didn't do its own testing... this is normal for most drugs in Canada.

Our only own Canadian drug co. is Apotex which only makes generics after the patents expired. Our GlaxoSmithKlines etc are foreign branch plants with R&D done in their company of origin.
