''Feeble’ Health Canada can't block dodgy drug imports
Canadian drug regulator Health Canada failed to stop pharmaceutical giant Apotex from importing suspect drug ingredients from one of its troubled manufacturing plants in India.
Instead, the potentially unsafe products were allowed into the country to be used in the making of generic blood pressure medications, antihistamines and other drugs for Canadian consumption.
It’s the latest example in an ongoing Star investigation that has found Health Canada so lax that it has allowed drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients into the country that are banned from the United States because the adulterated medications are potentially unsafe.

This is absolutely appalling, I can't believe that Health Canada is just letting these assholes sell bad medications. My Mr is taking one of the pills they mention in the article. He's had such rough go from the medical system, they are always doing something horrible to him. He got really sick when they had that tainted heparin a few years back too.
