The quote about asbestos reminds me of our former PM Harper who was fine with putting asbestos miners and processors back to work in Canada’s asbestos mine so asbestos could be shipped to countries where they have no controls. The notion of labourers in India grinding up asbestos without any protective gear at all, not knowing that the white fluff they worked with, were covered with, were inhaling, were spreading through the air out into the streets was one of the worst deadly carcinogens on the planet…

“Well, as long as it’s handled safely, it’s fine. But it isn’t up to us to ensure they do that. That’s up to the buyers and the processing businesses and the workers.”
