Philippines recalling ambassador and consuls in Canada over trash shipments

Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. tweeted that the Philippines "shall maintain a diminished diplomatic presence in Canada until its garbage is ship bound there." The drastic move is the latest strain in Philippine relations with Canada under President Rodrigo Duterte.

"That recall shows that we are very serious in asking them to get back their garbage otherwise we're gonna severe relations with them," presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo told a regular news conference. "I want a boat prepared. I'll give a warning to Canada maybe next week that they better pull that thing out or I will set sail to Canada and pour their garbage there," Duterte said, adding he would ask Canadian officials to "prepare a grand reception."The Canadian government said through its embassy in Manila after Duterte's provocative remarks that it "is strongly committed to collaborating with the government of the Philippines to resolve this issue.

Bring it back and get it over with. When there is a disaster over there don't send them any money, instead keep it for canadians that need help

I'm sorry Philippines if our dumb ass Prime Minister backed out of a promise he made to you, really we've been getting the shaft since the beginning. Welcome to our world!

BrittFurtado Reactionary dipshits, good luck at the next Typhoon without Canadian aid.

I thought our government told us a week or so back that this is resolved and the garbage is set to be returned.
