Lancet’s report is important in the argument against Canada’s hypocritical export of asbestos. This cancer-causing material is being shipped to countries where workers are not properly informed of the risks of asbestos or armed to handle it safely. Without their knowledge, they are being exposed to toxins that have been linked to a plethora of respiratory diseases like asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Even though Canada is citing the jobs that will be lost if this practice ceases, can they compare to the lives possibly lost if it continues? It is time to stop the export and production of this material. Regards, TM
