Canadians protest imports of US toxic waste amid Trump tariff war

Move to expand landfill for US hazardous waste stirs disputes between leaders in Quebec and Montreal suburb

The proposed expansion of a Quebec landfill that accepts hazardous waste from the United States has ignited a turf war between the Quebec provincial government and local leaders, who say they oppose putting US trash into a local peat bog.

Local leaders are protesting against the move - saying the province is capitulating to a US company in the midst of a tariff war between Canada and the United States.
