Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday reportedly threatened to "declare war" against Canada within the next week if the country fails to remove tons of garbage that was previously shipped to Manila.

Duterte, in remarks aired by state media and reported by The Canadian Press, said he will "give a warning to Canada maybe next week that they better pull that thing out or I will set sail."

"I will declare war against them. I will advise Canada that your garbage is on the way. Prepare a grand reception. Eat it if you want to," he said. "Your garbage is coming home."

Between 2013 and 2014, Canada shipped tons of waste in 103 containers to the Philippines and ,in the years since, has been pushing the Southeastern Asia country to dispose of it.

In some ways this all reminds me of the Peter Seller's movie "The Mouse that Roared", it seems so farcical. Still Duterte appears so unbalanced he may actually do something wacko. I have no idea what given his limited resources and the geographical factors involved, but something. In addition, Justin Trudeau is such a wimp, he would probably surrender if a Philippine sailboat with 5 guys on it showed up off Canada's western border.

Stay tuned. This may yet prove to be entertaining.
