In other words, come back when you have some real statistics, not your little one example.
According to Illinois state Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Canadians pay 30% to 50% less (some as high as 80%) for prescription drugs, and has even organized an ONLINE PETITION which asks the US Congress and the FDA to allow Americans to purchase their prescription drugs from Canada.

As for your link is concerned, its from a Libertarian site, which we all know are a bunch of screwballs, and secondly, their Canadian references are based on two Frazer Institute studies, which is nothing more than a pathetic ultra-right wing think-tank which most Canadians don't know, or trust, or give a shit aboot.

Here's some more stats: There's an 80% probability that you're a trailer park Republican, 15% that you're nothing but an I-Mockery satirical character, 4.5% that you're one of Vinth's bum buddies, and exactly 0.5% chance that you are Vinth, weeping in some drafty public library.
