Did you folks follow this event? I don't think we had a thread on it here. Canada sent a ship with cargo labeled as plastics for recycling to the Philippines. It turned out to be full of trash, including a lot of used adult diapers (eww!). Canada promised to bring the ship back but kept delaying (likely due to bureaucracy). Duterte called back all relations and even threatened war over it. Trudeau mostly ignored it altogether with a totally meh attitude.

Philippine executive secretary Salvador Medialdea issued a memo to department heads and government corporations June 4 saying the ban on travel to Canada and on interactions with Canadian officials is over.

There is no word yet on a return to Canada of the Philippine ambassador or consuls general, who were withdrawn until Canada took back a big load of garbage that had been festering in Philippine ports.

That happened May 30, nearly six years after the garbage first arrived in the Philippines falsely labelled as plastics for recycling.

The dispute came to a head in April when President Rodrigo Duterte threatened to declare war on Canada if the trash wasn’t returned.

So some Canadian company, apparently, "Chronic Inc." pulled a bait and switch sending 1500 tons of trash to the Philippines and now Canadian tax payers are responsible for paying for the damage the con-artists caused in order to avoid outright WAR.

Where are the repercussions on this company, it's board of directors and owners?
 
Well, that was a pretty shitty thing to do.




Sorry, I'll leave now.
