Unless you want me to play Devil's Advocate and say the intent of Canada is to kill people in 3rd World Nations slowly by exporting asbestos.
Go for it, I would totally support your condemnation.
Think any home owners in those countries will get a MSDS fact-sheet ?
Greed is the motive, the Canadian owners (of the asbestos mine) don't care about those countries or the poor and needy that live there. So get some lawyers and go start a class action suit, oh yeah, the poor and needy never get lawyers or a court-case. Perhaps if you asked the owners how much asbestos they have in their home will give a true look into if they consider it dangerous or not.
Yet Canada produces 10% of the world's asbestos behind only Russia, China, and Khazakhstan and ahead of Brazil.
Not much outrage about that though is there?
For the countries than banned it do they also spread the word to other Nations?

The surprise is that Coulombe believes the mine
has a future. While the open pit peters toward depletion – production this year totalled just 40,000 tonnes from a peak of more than 600,000 tonnes per annum – the Jeffrey mine in the town of Asbestos has moved toward Plan B, development of a vast underground deposit.
"We have here a huge proven reserve of chrysotile asbestos," says Coulombe, meaning that the size of the ore body has been sufficiently drilled to determine not the scope of reserves that
might be there, but the size of reserves that
are there and are extractable. "We have 200 million tonnes of proven ore reserves. It's good for the next 50 years."
Seem like he plans to up production to 4M tonnes / year. That is for money in his own pocket it has nothing to do with compassion for the poor and needy to get better housing.
