You might not want to get into that market for many reasons especially the law. I know of many companies that are in court against "boards of pharmacists" like the Quebec board of pharmacist against "lepharmacy.com" because that sites is selling to Canadian but is not owned by pharmacists and in the pharmacy law (P10 for Quebec's one) you have to be a pharmacist registered to the provincial Board of the province you work in to own a pharmacy (i.e. Ordre des pharmaciens du Québec, Ontario College of Pharmacists, Alberta College of Pharmacists, etc). Also, according to their provincial deontology code, most Canadian pharmacists couldn't possibly sell drugs online since they have to assure a follow up on the health and file of a patient, they have to offer consultation to make sure the right thing is being prescribed to the right person for the right needs and the person is not self medicating or isn't using fake prescritptions... Basically, even if your best buddy is a Canadian pharmacist you would have a hard time selling drugs in Canada legally. Maybe the U.S. regulation is not has tight...
