Asbestos Dangers



Mesothelioma is a dreaded cancer that is nearly always caused by just one factor: asbestos exposure.

FACT: Family members of those who are regularly exposed to high levels of asbestos also have a high risk of developing malignant mesothelioma.

Get the news, get the facts.

LIBERAL CANDIDATE: Bob Rae speaks out against deportation of Jeremy Hinzman and U.S. Iraq War Resisters


TORONTO, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- The Canadian opposition Liberal Party is calling for a halt to next week's deportation of a U.S. Army deserter and his family. At a Toronto news conference Thursday, Liberal Foreign Affairs Critic Bob Rae was flanked by Jeremy Hinzman, who, along with his wife and two children were ordered deported in August. Rae appealed to the Conservative government to stop the order, which has a Tuesday deadline. "Canada accepted over 50,000 people during the Vietnam War and Canada has benefited greatly from them," Rae said. "Jeremy will make a great Canadian and it would be great if he and his family could stay in Canada."

Hinzman served with the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan in a non-combat role as a conscientious objector. When he learned his unit was going to Iraq in 2004, he took his wife and child to the Toronto area.

On July 15, the Canadian government deported U.S. war resister Robin Long.
He was sentenced in August in Denver to 15 months in military prison for desertion.

Bravo Bob.

Bravo Bob Rae. Obviously he believes in this cause and he speaks eloquently and sincerely on behalf of Jeremy Hinzman and the war resisters.
What a contrast from his stumbling and stuttering and obfuscating when he was confronted on 9/11 Truth recently. He knows the truth but hasn't quite got the cojones to take a stand for 9/11 Truth.

Jeremy Hinzman appeals to Conservative Stephen Harper to stay


One mistake by Rae

He said Canada has an "independent foreign policy." Not with Stephen "nose up Bush's arse" Harper as PM we don't.
