For those in the U.S., the metropolitan Toronto area has no landfills or incinerators for trash because of environmental and NIMBY concerns. Instead, all the trash is trucked 250 miles away to Michigan for land fill disposal. Canada has all that open, uninhabited space but will not deal with their own trash problems. They simply pay to have the U.S. take it. I hope this goes through because Toronto is so smug about it's environmentalism. They banned household pesticides and herbicides, for example. I hope this makes them take a serious look at their own problems.

At first, I thought that this was a ban on visits by Martin or Trudeau...

Let them dump their trash on the Canadian side of the approaches to the bridges and tunnels From Canada to Michigan.

No more Globe and Mail, eh?

[teletech]

Keep Canadian garbage OUT of the USA! Canada must deal with its own trash!

[killroy]

Guess this means Michigan will have to send their governor back!!

[JohnnyZ]

Does this legislation apply to the current governor?

[YOUGOTIT]

Everyone write and tell congress to tell the Canadians to dump their own trash, since they hate us so much and say that the Americans are the ones who are causing global warming and such. Lies, Lies from the north.

Is Michigan going to now cease it's own exportation of trash?

[kanawa]

I'm confused...
"The federal legislation authorizing the trash ban is pending in the U.S. House."
Why does Michigan need federal approval to stop taking trash from Canada?

[rintense]

So why is Granholm still governor?

[RichInOC]

I was going to ask...is this an environmental issue or an immigration issue?

Bring it on!!! Garbage should be banned from other areas in such large quantities!!
Don't hand another part of Ontario, or another jurisdiction, your trash either, Toronto!!! No more Adams Mines! Dump it in your backyard!
