    And many Americans would love Canada if Canadians would sell them those drugs at costs far below what the American Pharma industry was charging.

    That would be a great move, piss off the US pharma companies while getting on the good side of individual Americans.

      The mail order pharmacies were charging Americans less than they would pay at home - and It caused a few shortages of some medications for Canadian patients.

        Yeah, in a trade war there are casualties. Maybe the Canadian government could do more to increase supply to those privateer mail order “pharmacies”, or something.

          Or cut them off.

          Make Americans fix their own system instead of leeching off ours.

        Easy to do too. Probably the easiest thing on this whole wishlist. Canadian “pharmacies” that sell products shipped by mail into the US already exist. I’m sure they’d happily sell even more stuff that was freely available in Canada patent and license free.
