Latest Threat to Homeland: Canadian Garbage

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., has some new marching orders for the Environmental Protection Agency: Stop Canada from dumping its trash in her state. “Nearly 415 trash trucks roll into Michigan from Canada every day,” Stabenow says. “These trucks dump more than 11.5 million cubic yards of trash into Michigan landfills every year, threatening our health, our environment and our homeland security.”

I'm sure Canadian trash is smelly, disgusting, and at least as hazardous to your health as good ol' American garbage. But a threat to homeland security? Bit of a stretch there.
