What goes around

...comes around. Canada enthusiastically exports asbestos, the deadly, cancer-causing insulating material, to "developing" nations. There's nothing like a good profit to override moral scruples. But Thetford Mines, the Quebec town at the centre of the asbestos-mining industry, is severely contaminated and its residents must choose between their their livelihoods and their lives. Labour unions, the Canadian Cancer Society, and the World Health Organization are calling for a ban on the production and export of asbestos.
