Canadian Drugs???

Hi everyone!
I know it's been a while since I posted anything, sorry for being such a stranger...I got a new job and started grad school. But I haven't forgotten about everyone here, you guys are the only ones who can possibly understand what I go through from time to time.
Anyhow...I'm doing some research for a class I'm taking on International Business. My topic of discussion will be, if you haven't guessed already, the implications of buying drugs (prescription drugs of course) from Canada as an American.
Since we seem to be a rather 'medicated' bunch, I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with Canadian on-line pharmacies. And if so could you enlighten me a little...
- is it cheaper?
- is it legal?
- does insurance cover it?
- are the drugs the same as what you'd get here in the US?
- are the pharmacies reliable?
Any help would be greately appreciated.
~Jake

The biggest question of all is:
What are the political/corporate considerations?

Legality is one thing; drug companies another:
This AARP link will piss you off as well.

It's the second.....and even the third article down.
(scroll down to the bus stop story too if you really want to get mad)

Actually, after looking at it from that perspective...I've found the answer to almost all my questions.
Thanks a ton Vig!
edit...
Thanks for the link Charlie...that will help me out a ton also. I can't believe the FDA would do such a thing to seniors. Those are the people that need help the most...at least they didn't confiscate the drugs.
