Letter: Official wrongly knocks Canada

Wed, May 4, 2005 (9:21 a.m.)

I noted that in your state Legislature's debate on prescription drug reimportation from Canada, Assemblyman Garn Mabey, a medical doctor, said, "I cannot think of one medication discovered and developed in Canada."

I remind him that insulin was discovered in Toronto in 1921.
