Asbestos exporting, emission denying, Canada.

Here is an interesting blog post about Canada's world role on the exportation of asbestos, our emission status, and the Harper government. Written by Dr. Trevor Hancock; a professor and senior scholar at the University of Victoria’s school of public health and social policy.

SK Public Asbestos Registry is Live!

This is great news. Saskatchewan has finally rolled out their Public Asbestos Registry. Found in the link below is the Saskatchewan government's website to "report asbestos" anywhere within the province. Of course this doesn't help the rest of us directly, but hopefully some of the powers that be will start to make similar changes to the rest of Canada. We need to minimize the potential risks there are with living and working around these carcinogenic materials -It's 2015!
