Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday reportedly threatened to "declare war" against Canada within the next week if the country fails to remove tons of garbage that was previously shipped to Manila.
Duterte, in remarks aired by state media and reported by The Canadian Press, said he will "give a warning to Canada maybe next week that they better pull that thing out or I will set sail."
"I will declare war against them. I will advise Canada that your garbage is on the way. Prepare a grand reception. Eat it if you want to," he said. "Your garbage is coming home."

The only sane leader in the world is President Trump.

Given the present state of the Canadian military, Canada might lose...

Recycling ? LOL I said recycling is garbage

The logistics of getting there would be the biggest obstacle.
Past that, I’d give PI a decent chance. The Canadians are too polite and PC.

Trudeau said he wants to bring in 1 million immigrants so Duterte can say his Army is just immigrants ,LOL

They’ll have to just figure out how to smuggle enough guns past the customs people.

Do you even know the back story on this? They tried to trick the Philippines into taking their garbage by labeling it as recyclable plastic...and then they have been trying to get the Philippines to dispose of it for them.
In 2013 and 2014, a total of 103 shipping containers from Canada labeled as plastics arrived in the Philippines for recycling, but Filipino customs inspectors determined the containers were actually filled with debris from Canadian trash bins.
Canada has been trying for nearly six years to convince the Philippines to dispose of the garbage there even though a Filipino court ordered the trash returned to Canada in 2016.
Indeed what audacity do they have to go dump waste in another country and ignore its courts? Good for Duterte standing up for his country.

Isn’t Trudeau afraid that when sea level rise swallows the Philippines (very soonly) that his plastic straws and such will pollute the oceans?
Time for the UN to join up with the Filipinos and teach Canada a lesson.
To: battousai
No, I didn’t know. What a dirty trick! One might think the Canucks were more honest, but there is little you can do because dishonesty is universal to a degree or two, and they’ll always be thieves in the woodpile. I know, I’ve worked for a few, until I figured out their games. Ugh!

It might be entertaining to see what Duterte would do with our southern border if he were put in charge of securing it. His approach to the drug epidemic is diametrically opposed to ours.

Love this guy!
