TORONTO — Concern over U.S. legislation that allows Americans to import cheaper medicines from Canada has prompted more than a dozen organizations to urge the federal government to safeguard the Canadian drug supply.
Faced with voter anger over the steep and rising costs of drugs in the U.S., several states — including Florida with the blessing of President Donald Trump — have passed laws allowing residents to import drugs from Canada. In the letter to Petitpas Taylor, the groups say the legislation could exacerbate drug shortages that become an increasingly serious concern in the Canadian health care system in recent years.
Drug supplies are already an issue in Canada. In recent years, Canadian drug makers have reported thousands of shortages for various reasons — often because of manufacturing issues but also due to increased demand. U.S. legislative initiatives could make matters much worse, the letter states.

With Ottawa's D playing so well, what was Campbell thinking giving up the late safety?The question all CFL fans are asking following the Stamps/Redblacks game is what was going through Rick Campbell's mind when he decided to give up a late safety, especially considering his defence had been playing so well. Matt Dunigan breaks down the surprising call. MattDuniganTSN MattDuniganTSN I think he had the under at 34. If he punted and the Stamps score a TD... it’s 19-16 and he loses on pro-line 😂😂. It was a ridiculous call Matt... it will cost him!!
