OTTAWA — The president of the Philippines says if Canada
doesn’t take back tonnes of trash within the next week he will “declare
war” and ship the containers back himself.
Filipino media outlets report that Rodrigo Duterte
made threats Tuesday about dozens of shipping containers filled with
Canadian household and electronic garbage that has been rotting in a
port near Manila for nearly six years.
