The Philippines threaten to declare war against Canada

[Supersonic 49,376]

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte threatened to "declare war" if Canada doesn’t take back the trash a Canadian company sent there more than six years ago, according to local media reports.

“I want a boat prepared. I’ll give a warning to Canada -- maybe next week -- that they better pull that thing out or I will set sail to Canada and I’ll pour the garbage there,” Duterte said, during a briefing about a recent earthquake.

“I cannot understand why they are making us a dumpsite,” he said. If Canada didn’t listen, Duterte said, “we’ll declare war against them.” Duterte also added “we’ll fight with Canada. We can take them down. I’ll return their trash -- just wait and see.”

“(I’ll) load the containers to a ship, and I will advise Canada that your garbage is on the way,” Duterte said, stressing Canada was belittling the Philippines. “Prepare a grand reception. Eat it (the garbage) if you want to.” 

During the past several years, Duterte has been at odds with Trudeau after the Canadian prime minister citing human rights abuses in the Philippines.

So did the Canadian company really send the trash there?  I have heard multiple instances of multinational corporations sending waste byproducts to poorer countries in southeast Asia.  This is bad for the environment regardless of where it is.  

The response sounds so Trump-like without an actual threat.  I dont know which one is worse.

I don't care if they sent it or not. 'President' Duterte is trash himself. King Tanga

Canada is trash. Literally. 

[LaLa 19,898]

We shouldn't have sent that trash  

I'd declare war on us too 

Although I  believe it was a private company and not the government

But the Philippines could not even protect its own territorial sovereignty.

Like, yes,it is wrong to send trash, but to threat a war to a country that got bigger fire power than you? Not smart.
