CBC THE CURRENT on Canada's promotion of asbestos

Wed 18 Oct 2006

FROM CBC'S THE CURRENT:

It's Tuesday October 17th and despite full knowledge of the health hazards posed by asbestos, Canada is opposing a proposal that would restrict its international sale. Evidently, the possibility of closing Quebec's asbestos mines is a political hot potato no one wants to handle.

Currently, wouldn't it be great if there was some kind of substance that could tolerate that kind of heat? Something that could withstand this red-hot issue? Oh wait there is. It's called integrity.
