In Canada all homeopathic medicine must clearly identify itself as such and must also state that it's based on traditional form of medicine and not based on any kind of scientific evidence.

The very "medicine" you linked to in fact displays it right on the cover.

To be fair, they are clearly following that rule, yes. But also, if I went to a clinic, and got told it was my fault something didn't get treated because I spoke to the person dressed as a doctor wearing the "Aspiring Dr. Soandso (Untrained but did watch House MD all the way through)" nametag instead of the one that said "Dr. Soandso", I would be pretty pissed. They were still in the clinic, dressed like a doctor.
