  1. There is no ethics with Big Pharma. They must sit around the board room table p*ssing themselves every time a new drug gets approval because as soon as Health Caanada approves a drugs use the liable is placed upon taxpayers if or when a problem arises from using that drug and Big Phanrma doesn't have pony up a cent. How does Health Canada go about approving a new drug? The approval is based on studies and research done by the pharmaceutical companies. What could go wrong?
