Lovely

In what I can only imagine is an effort by our environmentally-friendly government to extend Canada's claim to the Northwest Passage, there's apparently a move in the works to allow Navy ships to dump their garbage and raw sewage into Arctic waters.

Inuit leaders are protesting plans that would change shipping rules and allow the navy to dump garbage and raw sewage into Arctic waters.

. . .

The new rules, expected to go into effect this fall, would allow warships to jettison food wastes and sewage overboard if they are at least 22 kilometres offshore.


Then, with all the Canadian sewage and garbage floating around, we can better claim the area its floating in as ours.
