Canada's biggest media empire has launched a lawsuit to strike down restrictions against prescription drug ads. But your media isn't telling you. UPDATE JUNE 2009: CANWEST HAS TEMPORARILY DROPPED THIS CASE! SEE http://robwipond.com/?p=88

  • Zionist Canwest Global is bankrupt.

  • Yeah! But I'm guessing they will rise from the dead. Though it would certainly be an improvement if they are forced to at least split the print and TV arms.

  • Why don't we all forward this to our MPs? Maybe they could actually do something.....

  • Writing the gov't is worth doing, especially if it comes as a personalized email which they might actually look at. The gov't Attorney General is already defending the case which is being challenged under the Charter. Other than that, we could encourage our gov't to vigorously defend the case, enforce existing laws, and write even tougher laws. The Conservatives seem to be loosening those laws.

  • I am American but I support your message, trust me, once drug commercials start they don't stop... It's frightening when your own family members ::shudder:: take some of these drugs, we should be able to trust our doctors but I can't anymore. I haven't been to the doctor (other than a student health clinic) for over four years... I used to use anti-depressants and birth control but I can no longer trust my community health care system nor afford it if I did... BETTER LUCK TO YOU, CANADA!

  • GOOD!!! everyone wants drugs... Why are they illegal again?

  • Could not believe the number of drug ads on Canadian and American TV. And they want MORE drug pushers???

    Great video,

    Best

  • Good work, Rob, just one of many important stories media fail to cover.

  • Does corruption, deception and manipulation know no limits?

  • Thanks for making this - it's a critical issue facing Canada.
