Not at all. They used to spend their three days with me while on tool
buying
expeditions.


Which is an excellent example of the pricing I mentioned in a previous
message. Retailers and wholesalers in the US don't hesitate to raise
prices and gouge whoever they can, including your drug companies and
their over priced drugs.

Take Festool for example. A $1279 Domino and CT22 vacuum package in
the US is priced at $1700 in Canada. And prices like that are mandated
by Festool, doesn't matter that our money is almost on par.


You think Festool dictates the retail price on a country by country basis?


The only difference here is that we can manufacture necessary drugs,
can't do the same with products like Festool's.


I find that hard to believe. Isn't General made in Canada? Then there's
Veritas.

You continually cry
about how Canada undercuts US drug prices. What's much more likely is
that your drug prices are seriously overpriced in the first place. And
that's called greed.



Oh, we know that. We just get fed up with subsidizing the rest of the world.
