Thanks for literally exporting poison and slapping a price on it
Well in all fairness it does take two to tango. The buyers are just as much responsible as the sellers.
L J There are innocent victims involved too and Canada should be bigger than this.
There’s a secret hospital near Asbestos, Quebec where they keep the two-headed babies.
kingofallwhites i think you got it wrong what asbestos does to you
Just to let you know Canada has stopped producing asbestos
WOAH! I visited Thetford mines in Quebec for a contract I had. I asked the locals back then about the big asbestos mines (as the entire city was built to house the people working the asbestos mines). They were saying the mines are closed and unless you mix it in your coffee, asbestos can't hurt you. I now watch this video over a year later and I understand where they're shipping it off to! DISGUSTING!
They are closed. This documentary is from 2009.
@@lucasaccount573 The damage is done and people will be dying from this disaster over the next 50 years, maybe even more. The mining was closed as recent as 2012 so its not like this is over and we can move on from it. The worst is yet to come for innocent local and Indian victims. Many are already experiencing the health dangers associated with this poisonous material. We knowingly profited from mining and exporting poison.
Unbelievable! I had no idea Canada is doing this.... shameful!
Deiganator Highly shameful Canada this is called scammers on poor people .
Unbelievebul!1!1!1!1! Asbestos bad bot ppl used it on ges mesks??? ppl r stoobid omg!1!1!1!1!
Just because something is dangerous, cheap and useful, doesn't mean it is just poison.
They still use it in canada and other countries just not in the same things they use to. It's still used in brake pads and other things where they need the toughest materials
These people choose to work with a dangerous product with no regard for safety. Canada is not to blame for Indian issues.
@@devinzelman5838 Saying we are not responsible for India choosing to use the product is true. And it is also a Red Herring because them being wrong for buying it doesn't make us any less guilty for capitalizing on it. We are still guilty for our share. Period.
this is very sad...bless that man who is speaking out
Never thought that Canadian government can be so ignorant about this kind of stuff... hopefully this report will cause some stir in the Parliament.
acdc51502112 I don't know how can one sleep risking someone else's life ...
This story is from 2009. The last mine closed in 2011 and they are replaying the story because the government recently promised to have a complete ban in place by 2018.
Jarod Leutri makes sense. thanks
regardless of the age of this story...this is hypocrisy C A is our country. We CAN NOT be part the immorality that is engulfing the world. We MUST be responsible
OceanBlue will check it out. It's just this kind of things annoys me to the core
She walked through the asbestos land field with no mask. 😬
Journalists in a nutshell
@@theisrasmusnielsen8644 The hell is that supposed to mean? Do even a modicum of research and you'll quickly learn the danger is in longterm exposure, getting a few seconds of whiff comes with minimal risk even if wearing a mask would ultimately be better and smarter.
I had a friend from Canada . We both lived in florida she found out she had months to live she died with in a couple months she said a child they gave children clay in school.it had asbestos she 53 years old when she died
It's been three years. Would love a follow up on the workers from India.
Dead
Or dying. No miracles happening here.
Learn about the latency period on asbestos. 10 through 40 years later you can see the results from working with the stuff.
This is why I left Canada.I contracted mesothelioma from working in the drywalling industry.
Are you still alive?
I do this for living, I get freak out When we remove asbestos tile..I imagine that room full of asbestos.
😑😑
My temple has it but is it true that if you leave it alone nothing will happen but if you remove it it will become airborne
@@Nsingh11 poor misconception.
When you wake on it, when temperature changes happen, when the wind blows.
It is disturbed.
Are you trained actually removing the product properly? Sure it's annoying but it's not dangerous if done right..
Note that this is an old story. Canada's last asbestos mine closed in 2011 or 2012
OceanBlue Please link me to a source for this. I have looked bit have been unable to find anything supporting that.

It is still an important story because mining asbestos to sell to poorer countries, even in 2011, is pretty unethical and criminal.
This video is published in 2016. So the mining and sale of asbestos was happening at least until then.
it's about money .. it's about a lot of money !!!
If money is saved lives, maybe
This disgusts me! Everyone’s life matters, money is the route of all evil, but when I almost died I thought so much better and realized that, even one person who spreads kindness In this world to make a difference, and how great full I am to live when I wanted to end my life, no one has the the awnswer to everything but before you stand against something get to know it first I encourage everyone to read their bibles! We’re not promised tommorow spread kindness, save life’s, make a difference cause everyone deserves a chance to live life and learn rather having everything handed to them.. and please support and speak against banning this! And other counties whose life’s are at stake.
Fantastic Video!
CBC, in the future when you post an old documentary like this think you could put some "originally aired" thing in the actual video? People tend not to read the video descriptions.
Idk man if you're geeking that hard on an asbestos doc then u probably have some serious life changes to make
Its doesnt matter if canada is stopped exporting they have killed a lot of people so it is good to be reminded of this
The damage was done and many people are just starting to feel the affects of this hazardous material. The mining in Quebec only ended as recently as 2012 so what difference would mentioning when this documentary aired make? What's next? Canadian pharmaceuticals profiting from this disaster and national shame?
my village is full of abstebos sheet in use from kitchen roof to public stands. no one knows anything even after they are educated and haveing a lot of money but its use currently has decreased and its availability also
Hearbreaking
This documentary is from 2009. For anyone still watching this, as the description says, this wasn’t the case anymore when the video was uploaded.
Ban guns for law abiding citizens but not the sale of asbestos.
Wow WTF Canada!
it should be mention thats this documentary is from 2009 and since 2012 the biggest mine the jeffery mine as closed and since then we do not export it anymore. so to people
Asbestos is ban in Australia too.
Wow - not going to visit India anymore.
Well things changed when insurance companies moved in to close it down.
Governments never cares, Money moved things to change.
You should see old blue asbestos mining town of Wittenoom in Western Australia Australia and killed the mine workers and town itself and blue asbestos is the worst thing ever mined
You should wonder about Lithium? Could it be the next Asbestos?
Anybody else see the thing coming down the wall at 3.35 to 3.38. It on the left between where the two buidings are conected. What is that like?
It’s a lizard.
I seen it too ha ha
Union Station Toronto is undergoing major renovations and is full of this stuff 😵
Typically, the british pageant royalty dissident group has contaminated a large portion of the cheaper native cigarettes with asbestos and other contaminants and chemicals.
Well if somebody's willing to pay
a group of students, including myself, were at school later than usual for an event. our teacher and a student frantically ran towards us yelling “OUT, EVERYBODY OUT! THEY STARTED THE ABATEMENT!” while we were still in the school, they started the asbestos abatement. our water also tested positive for lead a few years ago and some of the paint still has lead. the light bulbs in our tv studio have mercury and could explode at any moment. heating system was down for a good week in the winter as well. canada is great 👍 good thing i graduate this year😭
Congratulations on your graduation
The lightbulbs are fine.
Very little mercury
@@sonnyjlong 🤣
They live in a hell hole I doubt asbestos is the big concern here lol
It's not Canada's fault it's the French again.
I call bologna on that. Our Federal Government had a responsibility and instead the Liberal and Conservative Government funded over 20 million dollars to keep the lies flowing that it was safe, and many more in funding spent to solicit more buyers. That is "Liberal and Conservative," (not the Bloc party). That means Federally Canada is very much responsible, and your comment is pure discrimination. Actually, considering these factories also cause problems for surrounding communities, I would say it is most likely the opposite of your assumption.
Not the holy “free healthcare” land you thought? Right?
Amazing storyline there is enough information out there to stop it being used. The danger is now how do we dispose of it?
Hazardous waste dumping area
I know it's old but...
@ 2:43 The man can't quit his job, which makes him handle asbestos, because he needs to pay for medication to help him battle asbestos. *Full Capitalism Achieved* (insert "Expanding Brain" meme) *!*
sad
You can filter asbestos with asbestos.
shame on Canada .....Canada should compensate the victims and their families each one of them.
THERE IS A CREATURE CRAWLING DOWN THE BILDING AT 3:34!!!!
a lizard
A lizard? Too intreagued to rewind
If only true leaders gets together and bring the governments to courts than the future will be bright.
I'm surprised the Canadians don't sell India their 'Nuclear Waste' as a possible insect repellent or some thing !!!
Omg this so disgusting...
This is nothing like what happened in Australia and asbestos.
Asbestos is Silent Killer!
Now , it's time to Russia for sell asbestos at India. haha
Now, it is time for Russia to sell asbestos in Canada as well, just don't let it reach alaska...
you misspelled "India's Dirty Secret" in the title
I guess it’s easier for people to talk against the Canadian government than speak up against the Indian Government for fear of repercussions from the Indian government. Perhaps the question should be why is the Indian Government putting their people at risk and importing asbestos?
it's about the business- these country are corporation they are no longer developing countries In these major countries. So these major corporation are not gonna lay down.
3:41
At least not only for asbestos.
In Toronto there are workers removing asbestos from the buildings with the same protections than India. I saw it is not truth than in Canada workers are protected
We need to fix this as best as we can
Axhiro Madlander with the cure
As best os we can
If parliament walls can talk, just peel it off. Right. How dare you Quebec.
Only had we and have good government than this types of time bombs disasters would be kept at bay. Money is the root cause of all this stuffs getting dumped at India, first it's cheap than government will make money from importing and after that when huge populations get sicks the governments will make money and build reputations and alikes for them.
Here’s our Asian correspondent Tricia Takanawa.
They should send some to
James Hardie!
In an envelope?
all the poor people in India Should Sue Canada for all they have
brett cole Our snow?
For what? They bought it should an alcoholic be able to sue jack daniels? The buyer knows what he is buying
After watching this video, I don’t really trust Canada now ;-;
You don't have to "trust" anyone if you start using your brain.
@@saarbrooklynrider2277 ikr
Think even simple masks that costs a penny could be sent with the purchases
3:34 WAS THAT A HUGE COCKROACH?
I saw that too, kept repeating the segment but still can't see what it is.
Remember Canada is the best country to live in now grab yourself a drink of city water and say cheers to asbestos
All I ever expected from Canada. I *know* why I don`t live there anymore.
the beginning with the streetshitters on bikes
Well, who says Canada isn't still using it, is it even Canada? Who is to say America still doesn't make asbestos
I nobodycaresanyway the law.
Asbestos isn't man made
Your mom says
Canada's fault for selling it, or India's fault for buying it?
ConDor both
In my humble opinion, the indian government has to be taken accountable since they are aware of the dangers of Aspestos and missed to creat regulations that make the use of Aspestos safe in manufacturing processes.
Canada simply exports something that has a natural origin.
Here an example
Who is to blame in case of a nuclear meltdown.
The uranium mining company (in this case Canada) or the nuclear power plant builer/operator (India)
Pure evil at work on both sides
It's been 6 years, how dead are those guys?
2009 documentary
Yikes. But I resent this report being framed as "Canada", as if all Canadians are responsible for it.
S Hello hello yes what is your name yes hello hello what is your name
One mans trash another's treasure
India love it
Because America is next to canada- and America do alot business with canada And america deals with china. They all work with china. So maybe this is why some is sicker than others. So if your chest hurt, etc. why don't they tell the truth?
A
Should be called, "Canada's pointless redundant taxpayer's financed news station".
She’s so hot
Canada should be sued by India.
lol Indian government should just ban asbestos like the EU did. You cannot sue someone if the risk is well known and you still use it. Now Canada stopped exporting and the Indians switched to Russian asbestos.
On what ground? Did Canada forced India to import asbestos? Why doesn't the Indian government ban asbestos?
THAT COMPANY SHOULD BE FINED AND PROSSECUTED ! :(
Why can't Canada continue to benefit its economy doing something completely legal in India. If Canada was to stop providing them this service another country would sell it tho them.
If you are a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma
Lol wut?
