An unfair fight

In this corner, weighing in at 1,387 pounds (warning: weight based on a projection by Jim Harris), Green leader Elizabeth May:

To this day, the Green party is the only party prepared to call for an end to asbestos mining and exports.

And in the opposite corner: reality, in the form of the NDP's readily-available public position:

In light of the World Health Organization’s conclusion that “there is no evidence for a threshold for the carcinogenic effect of asbestos” and that “the most efficient way to eliminate asbestos-related diseases is to stop the use of all types of asbestos,” the government should apply the precautionary principle and proceed to a ban on asbestos through phasing out the use and export of asbestos.

One can only wonder how misleading May would be if she hadn't made a personal commitment to "tell the truth all the time, even if it isn't pushing (her) party".
