We did it!

Thanks to overwhelming support from all around the world, we published an ad in TWO major Canadian newspapers challenging PM Harper to stop supporting the export of asbestos.

The ad was published in the Ottawa Citizen and the Edmonton Journal (click here to see the ad).
More than a hundred unions, organizations and health defenders from 23 different countries endorsed the ad.

“This is an amazing example of international solidarity,” said RightOnCanada founder, Kathleen Ruff. “Canadians and people around the world are demanding that PM Harper end his deadly asbestos policy. He can no longer hide from this issue.”

The ad appears at a crucial moment when an anonymous consortium of investors wants to open a new asbestos mine in Quebec to export vast quantities of asbestos to the developing world.
