Canada's shame (Pimping asbestos overseas)

Sometimes, and I hate to admit it, I am ashamed to be Canadian:

• Health orgs call on governments to ban use and export of asbestos from Quebec mines (5 July 2010)
• Cancer Society urges Quebec not to provide loans to asbestos mine (29 June 2010)

Another example of 'geld uber alles.'

Reminds me of people moaning about poor American tobacco farmers losing a living and how the US government subsidizes an industry that kills millions. Tobacco companies sell a deadly product to developing countries now that domestic markets have decreased.

Turns out Canada also plays this despicable game. Shame on us!
