From the St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press:
Canada may ban mail-order drugs, cutting off access to Americans
Canada may ban mail-order prescription drug sales to U.S. customers, cutting off access to cheaper medicines for about 2 million Americans.

The move could stymie MinnesotaRXConnect.com, the state Web site created by Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a vocal advocate for purchasing drugs from Canada at lower prices.

Pawlenty said he will consider finding suppliers "from European countries with safe pharmacy systems" to fill prescriptions for the Web site if the Canadian mail-order ban happens.
