my message to you guys: I'm sorry for our country's actions :( I'm sorry for those who have been harmed by Canadian abestos, those whose lives have been affected by it, I'm truly ashamed and apologetic, I'm sorry :(
here's about 1,500 Canadian apologies for you.
An apology on behalf of Canadians for causing thousands of death around the world due to Canadian asbestos exports.
On Friday, June 24, the Conservative government once again embarrassed our country on the international stage. We alone prevented the United Nations from adding chrysotile asbestos to the global list of hazardous substances.
We won’t allow asbestos in our homes and offices. We are spending millions to remove it from our Parliament buildings. Here in Canada, we know asbestos is hazardous. Yet year after year our government refuses to let the world officially recognize it as hazardous, because they want to continue to export it to developing countries without even a warning label.
Our government has behaved shamefully on this issue, and when you behave badly there’s only one thing to do: apologize. Since Stephen Harper clearly won’t, the Green Party is apologizing to the rest of the world for our country’s disgraceful position on asbestos. We invite all Canadians to join us in saying “We’re sorry!â€
Send your own email of apology to imsorry @ greenpart y. ca and we’ll forward them to the General Secretary of the United Nations. -
