Asbestos India Canada

Why isn’t Canada part of the ‘axis of evil?’?
Every year, Canada exports 400,000 tons of asbestos to developing countries. This mineral causes cancer with a vengeance! It’s used in buildings, often as an insulator. It hasn’t been used in Canada or any other first world country in over thirty years, since it was discovered to be so hazardous. Places like India want it because it’s cheap. Canada is and will be responsible for causing millions of cases of cancer in developing countries: A lot more than what North Korea allegedly wants to do with a dirty bomb.
You can’t compare Canada to NK because nobody is being forced to buy or use asbestos. On the other hand, I don’t think Canada should be selling it.
