GOV'T DOING NOTHING ABOUT OTHER PREVENTABLE DEATHS

Last week the Trudeau government announced that it will be banning
asbestos in Canada. Asbestos kills over 400 Canadians every year.

It is commendable that the government would do that after recognizing
the dangers of asbestos. But it is rather ironic that during that same
period of time 4,200 Canadians died from alcohol-related deaths,
39,000 Canadians died from tobacco-associated illnesses and during the
same period, 100,000 unborn children's lives were terminated and the
government has no plans to ban anything regarding those deaths. All of
the above would have been preventable.

In a decade from now I suspect we will have results of how many people
will have needlessly died as a result of the Trudeau government
decriminalizing marijuana.
