Canada has never outlawed asbestos.
Each Canadian Province and Territory has its own process for regulating asbestos. Often the Ministry of Labor is involved, at least as far as exposure to asbestos in the workplace. The government regulates the sale of asbestos under the Hazardous Products Act.
Some countries have made some uses of asbestos illegal, and some have made all uses of asbestos illegal. Each country did that at a different time. Selling asbestos is illegal in Canada and France. Strict occupational health and safety rules limit workers' exposure to the mineral. However the Canadian Government sees nothing wrong in continuing to produce asbestos and exporting the fibre. Most of its exports go to developing countries.

Although some uses of asbestos are not permitted in the United States, asbestos has never been "outlawed" in the US. Since asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in rock outcroppings in several National Parks, among other places, trying to outlaw it would be about as futile as trying to outlaw dandelions
Asbestos was mined in many places around the world, including the US, Canada, South Africa, and others. Asbestos mines in the US and Canada are long closed. The largest supplier of asbestos today is Russia, which is working very hard to prevent further banning and regulation of asbestos.

Asbestos is a mineral and is dug out of the groud in mines just like other minerals. Canada and South Africa are major sources of asbestos, but it is found in commercial quantities in other countries, too.
