One of the problems we are having in Canada at the moment is that we made the mistake of electing a government that doesn't really represent our values. I suspect that when the Liberal party gets it's act together and gives us a credible leader, they Conservatives will be reduced to a well deserved third place at the polls.
It is also well to point out that what Quebec wants, Quebec tends to get, since any time they get annoyed, they threaten to pack up their marbles and form their own country.
The asbestos thing has as much to do with pacifying Quebec as it does with anything else. If Manitoba was the asbestos capital of Canada, we would have shut down the asbestos industry decades ago.
Politics is just as dirty here as it is in your country, and asbestos is all about dirty politics, not doing the right thing.
At the same time, your claim that Canada doesn't care about the environment because asbestos is still being mined is wrong.

Just for the record, asbestos is a health hazard more than an environmental one, but to say that Canada doesn't care about the environment based on one edgy mineral being mined is a wildly inaccurate statement.
