In recent weeks it seems that not a day has gone by without another group in Canada speaking out about the country's historic support for the asbestos industry; this escalation of opposition from civil society has been truly astounding.
What is even more astonishing is that whereas some criticism of Canada's asbestos policy formerly appeared in the English-speaking media, nowadays the French-speaking media is also covering developments. As Quebec, the only province where asbestos is still mined in Canada, is French-speaking, this coverage is of great significance.
Canadian MP Pat Martin, a long-time opponent of Ottawa's pro-asbestos stance, will be speaking at the conference being held in Chicago on April 10, 2010 by the Asbestos Diseases Awareness Organization.. For more information, see: http://www.asbestosdiseaseawareness.org/adao-conference/
Elsewhere there have been many developments in recent days. The latest batch of articles on the IBAS website covers news from Asia, the Americas and Europe. On February 1 & 5 activists in India held demonstrations and press conferences which have reverberated around the world while the following week a paper was published which detailed the growth of a mesothelioma epidemic in Mexico, a country which imports 3.5% of Canada's annual asbestos output.
I hope these articles will be of interest to you. Please see:
