US: Canada's Landfill?
 

Is it true Canada pays the US to dump all their trash here? Is american that greedy?

i dunno bout all of Canada, but Toronto sends a lot of its trash down to Michigan.

Arrr mateys(!), I don't think either USA or Canada are really dumping their hazardous stuff in North America. I read a Google news headline sometime ago about how most of the hazardous stuff was being "exported" to China, India, and some other country/countries in Africa.

arr mateys? And yea.. Its the american way.

I think it may be the other way around. I remember an incident a few years back where an American company sent a few truckloads of bio-med waste up to Canada (illegally).

Also, they're thinking of storing nuclear waste in the Canadian Shield (think rock). Just wait until that gets into the water table.

I dobut that Canada as country or the US as a country are trading garage. Towns and cities all over the place send garbage to other towns. Towns all over the us do it. They don't have suffiecnt land fills and what not and a local town does. It would not suprise me to know that towns along the border send it to others across the border.

I thought they elected their trash to Parliament?

HEY OOOOH

We sent you Celin Dion, so I guess it's true

yes they have been transporting garbage to the US, but the politicians have caught on recently so you can expect it to stop

And Shania Twain!Thank You:D

Ha ..that's funny.Elected officials and Celine Dion as garbage,I couldn't agree more.But I'm biased being in the nation's capital.

Now that's funny. :D

That's not greed, it's capitalism. Ever play Sim City 3000? You can make deals for trash export/import there too. It happens between town in America as well. One town doesn't have enough room for trash, another has a lot, so they make a deal. Why Canada feels the need to waste money on paying us when they have room to dump trash beats me though. I guess that's just another part of the high taxes ;)
