The empty north

During the Kerry-Bush debate last Thursday, Bush provided an exciting new insight into the question of the empty north. Just why does he think so few people live above the 49th parallel? They're all DEAD! Killed by cheap Canadian Drugs.

The New York Times > Washington > Campaign 2004 > The Presidential Candidates' 2nd Debate: 'These Are the Differences'

Q. Mr. President, why did you block the reimportation of safer and inexpensive drugs from Canada, which would have cut 40 to 60 percent off of the cost?

Mr. Bush I haven't yet. Just want to make sure they're safe. When a drug comes in from Canada I want to make sure it cures you and doesn't kill you. [] And my worry is, is that, you know, it looks like it's from Canada and it might be from a Third World.
