Have issues with islamic homegrown terrorists in a city, wants to take on an entire nation....

I'd usually be against this, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and with Canada's evil eyes turned to the Philippines, we will be free to retake Hans Island for good, as it is our right!

duterte claims illegal interference in his future bid for reelection, as citizens might confuse the nonsentient piles of trash exported by Canada with the sentient piles of trash that compose his cabinet

[Clovis]

He just found out that Canada legalised weed and wants to take advantage. People in his country are not at all understanding of his drug habit.

Hans Island is forever Canadian. Just wait until the trillions of gallons of oil under it get discovered.

Lol good luck with that

[Sableye]

so the canadian government should suddenly be responsible for transporting away trash that a multinational company dumped there? shouldn't he be going after the company that dumped the trash and submitted fraudulent paperwork to obtain a permit?

oh right, dictatorship, gotta jingo.

So THIS is what people mean when they say "people have gone to war over less!"

[Zenreon]

And so began the Canadian-Phillipino War - the bloodiest and longest war in human history. These nations would go on to fight for so long they forgot what they were fighting about. It was no longer important what started it, rather all that was important was who would end it.

Siri, does the Philippines have a White House we can burn down?

[Spazi]

Well according to the article the company is Canada-based so at the end of the day it's Canada's responsibility to keep them in check.

Really they should be working together to punish the company rather than Duterte making diplomatically insane threats over the situation.

In any case exporting waste to poor or corrupt countries is a catastrophically exploitative ordeal and shouldn't be tolerated at all.

Wait this guy still hasn't executed himself for smoking the devils lettuce?

[Gook Nukem]

Hypocritical people tend not to be critical thinkers

[DokVis]

Send more trash

[DaCommie1]

Do it bitch, we dare you.

[chunkymonkey]

I'd love to see them try.

All we'd have to do is send one bloke from JTF2 and they'd be done.

[Draza~]

Obligatory
