If drug companies could sell in Canada in a free market as all of the
previous examples then I might agree but there are price controls in Canada.
The non-price controlled markets are bearing the R&D/Regulatory costs for
Canada.  If price controls are effectively placed on the entire industry,
there will just be fewer drugs for the elderly to buy.  It's one way to
solve the high cost drug problem I guess.  On the other hand, if it means
not ever developing a drug that could save my life...
