Canada bases its drug prices (when buying in bulk) off of international sales, but has decided to drop the US and Swiss prices from this calculation after determining that those countries pay too much. Drug companies aren't happy with this, and are openly offering a bribe to the Canadian government to scrap the change, in the form of money to local manufacturing the research. lol.
