Hell Hath No Fury Like A Canadian Health Regulator Scorned

Global Pharmacy Canada was revealed to be based in Belize, with the drugs shipped from India, and offices in Azerbaijan and the Czech Republic (June, 2013 link). There is also now a booming business in dogging online pharmacies on behalf of Big Pharma. The logic has some merit - maintain high standards in drug regulation - but the effect is to maintain indefensibly-high drug prices in the United States. So, the ethics are complicated. Real complicated.

Also interesting is that most Global Pharmacy customers were well-aware the drugs weren't coming from Canada. Apart from the Canadian address, the company has been honest and forthright about what it does. The Robin Hoods of the world often are forthright:

Global Pharmacy is in business to assist our global customer base with access to low cost worldwide pricing on medications. Many of our customers are on a limited incomes, finding room in their budget for medications sometimes is a difficult one. People should not have to make the choice about putting food on their table or purchase their needed medications. By using our services they do not have to make this choice.
