Let’s break down the Regina numbers. 531 km in 2005. Exact same amount in 2021. Suddenly down to 500 km in Dec.,
2022. That’s remarkable, if true. Especially since the city has acknowledged it is having difficulty meeting its target of replacing 10 km per year.
@preventcancernow.bsky.social

50-60 yrs to replace the (at least) 500 km of old asbestos cement water pipe in Regina. How come it is a priority, and causes cancer in Kenya, and not in Regina?

Drinking asbestos is safe? Health Canada’s new study can’t see why not - Prevent Cancer Now Health Canada commissioned a flawed study that purportedly confirmed that there is no "consistent, convincing evidence' that drinking asbestos causes cancer.

Please read the NRC studies I sent. In 2003, the City of Regina paid $5-million for them. Health Canada maintains that it’s okay to drink asbestos. I sit on the board of @preventcancernow.bsky.social
It strongly disagrees with that position.

What exactly are “unknown fibres that resemble asbestos?” If the water ran thru old asbestos cement water pipes, I’d say it’s asbestos. The lab blew me off when I reached out to ask.
