a damning report on Canada's role in the global asbestos industry. Canada federally funds an asbestos lobby group to sell Canadian asbestos worldwide; last year Canada exported 153,000 tonnes of white asbestos, mostly to India. Blamed by the World Health Organization for 90,000 deaths a year, asbestos is the largest contributor to work-related cancer in the world. Supporters of the industry say asbestos is not dangerous if handled correctly.
