DescriptionThe mayor of Sarnia, Ont., has written a letter to the Conservative Party of Canada, accusing it of “absolutely shameful” behaviour.

He's reacting to news that the Conservative party is involved in a dispute with the widow of an asbestos victim.

The woman, Michaela Keyserlingk, was sent a threatening email from a top Tory official who warned her to stop using the party's trademarked logo in her anti-asbestos ad campaign.

Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley says it's morally wrong for Canada to continue exporting the hazardous substance to poorer countries where there are inadequate safety standards for workers.
