I do wonder why you feel the need to opine on a topic you clearly know nothing about.

Why not learn something about Big US Pharma, read their submissions to the TPP talks, tell me if you find a vein in there that sounds exactly like this uneducated Harper shill is spewing.

Go back over the years and read what US ambassadors have threatened Canada with with regard to this topic. Cutting off supplies of certain drugs, happened 15 or so years ago. In the TPP they wanted Canada to scrap the Patent Medicine Review Board, you know the folks who set the prices for drugs. They wanted the Common Drug Review scrapped, you know the folks who decide the effectiveness of new drugs, compared with current patent meds. They wanted Health Canada to partner with the FDA for drug safety approval. You are aware that many drugs approved for safety by the FDA are not approved in many other countries....
