This industry brings in a total of $90 million. Working people in the rest of the world, where asbestos has not been banned, are exposed to the fibers daily but Canadian parliamentarians will not allow themselves even the slightest chance of exposure. Our Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, can now be considered an official S.O.B. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists.

Quite an eye opener, even for someone who already knew about the Harper "speaking in tongues" type of religious right government he leads. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.

Yet another minor detail to get a very small few stupidly rich... But will the rest of Canada do anything to stop those few getting stupid rich at everyone else's cost?

You don't have to be a Canadian voter to send your opinion to the Prime Minister. His email is listed on the government of Canada site. http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20110701/canada-mocked-asbestos-hypocrisy-110702/ I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.
