The Philippines is finally going to be rid of 69 shipping containers filled with Canadian waste that have caused years of tension between the two countries.
A ship contracted by the Canadian government to bring the waste back was loaded in the Port of Subic, Philippines, Thursday. The MV Bavaria is expected to leave for Canada Friday with an end destination of the Port of Vancouver.
