So this is how Canada seeks to retain its waning Canadian culture in the face of Uncle Sam's sheer will, let alone: Recurring bans on Canadian beef; annihilation of its national, beloved game (hockey sur glace); and general pissed off nature because of Canada's opposition to more widescale missile defence funding:
Report: More Canadian trash in Michigan landfills, drop in in-state trash

LANSING -- The amount of Canadian trash dumped in Michigan landfills climbed 23 percent in the most recent fiscal year, according to a new report released Tuesday.
The state Department of Environmental Quality's solid waste report showed that while trash coming into Michigan from Canada grew in the 2003-04 budget year, the amount of trash generated by Michigan residents dropped by 2 percent.
Frank Ruswick, Department Director Steven Chester's special assistant, said the amount of Canadian trash dumped in Michigan may have gone up between Oct. 1, 2003 and Sept. 30, 2004 because Toronto began sending all its refuse in January 2003. Toronto -- Canada's most populous city -- sends all 1.1 million tons per year of its trash to the Carleton Farms landfill in Wayne County's Sumpter Township.
Canada reported dumping 11.5 million cubic yards of trash in Michigan, about 2 million cubic yards more than the previous budget year.

to quote our esteemed leader, "bring 'em on".
It's a joke; sarcasm. Send their crap on to the States as retribution for the offenses against Canada.
now you've got it, peter, sorry if i didn't make my point clear enough. all i need now is to be misunderstood as a canada basher, when in fact some of my, let alone my wife and my best memories emanate from your confines. Actually, at least one of my soon-to-be two kids was generated there....
Rob Ontario Regelbrugge has a nice ring to it!
