Canada Drugs otherwise known as CanadaDrugs.com, was one of the first companies in the suddenly growing Canadian internet mail-order pharmacy industry.[1][2][3][4] It was started in 2001 by Kris Thorkelson as an off-shoot of a chain of four local pharmacies (The Prescription Shop) in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. At the time, it was Canada's largest pharmacy providing world-wide prescription services and had filled over 1,000,000 international and Canadian prescriptions through its mail order facilities. It was shut down as a result of litigation by the US federal government.[2][3][4]
