The Philippines have had enough of Canada’s garbage.
The National Post reports, a small mountain of trash from Vancouver has piled up on the Manila Waterfront and politicians are fed up.
The problem began in February when shipping containers arrived at a port, not containing plastic materials as claimed, but household waste, soggy paper, and even adult diapers.
Leah Paquiz, a member of the Philippine House of Representatives, made a plea for our country to take care of the issue last week, saying “my motherland is not a garbage bin of Canada.”
Some have even called for an official government inquiry into the trash, threatening legal action.
