Google censors Canadian pharmacy web sites

Google is censoring Canadian pharmacy web sites that have full credentialing from the Canadian Government. Google is stopping advertising and search engine recognition of these legitimate Canadian pharmacy sites.

I have been a customer of the below Canadian pharmacy site for five years. I am incensed at the duplicitous stand Google is taking on China’s censorship of political dissidents which resulted in removal of their services in China and then turning around and censoring a legitimate Canadian business with no political overtones. This stand seems to violate the primary concept of an “open” internet.

I received the below message from CandianPharmacyMeds.com. It raises the keenest emotions of injustice. My head was whirling with what might be the motive. It seems that the western drug lobby must have scored a tremendous triumph.  You wonder what transpired to produce this apparent compromise in professed Google values?

Other search engines have not moved to censor Canadian pharmacy sites. Google claims legal concerns as it’s motivation to censor. It is very unclear why Google has this concern and not other search engines. While it has been technically illegal to buy pharmacy products from Canada the prevailing mood is to dismiss any interest in enforcement. See below link “states support”.

It seems very discriminatory to single out Canadian pharmacy from online pharmacy, many of which do not require a prescription which invites excess as opposed to Canadian pharmacies which require a prescription and operate in a regulatory environment similar to the US. It seems the reason may be that Canadian pharmacy commands the largest market share of online sales. This implies the involvement of the western drug lobby to precipitate censorship of Canadian sites.

It’s interesting that several states support online pharmacy programs for low income and seniors according to this Wikipedia article. Google’s interest in protecting their legal exposure throws a cinder block to the low income population already unable to keep their head above water in the out of control US health care system.

President Obama supports continuing access of Canadian online sales for US citizens. See complete article.

Well I can’t speculate further. I am including the e-mail I received from my Canadian pharmacy website below. If you have more information that would shed some light on this apparent travesty please comment here or on a public forum. The e-mail suggests writing to your federally elected officials.
