The proposed expansion of a landfill in Quebec to accommodate hazardous waste from the U.S. has sparked significant opposition from local leaders and political factions. They argue that this move compromises local environmental safety and questions Canada's role in managing U.S. waste amid ongoing tariffs between the two countries. Opposition voices, including Quebec parliamentary members, emphasize that Quebec should not be treated as a dumping ground for U.S. waste. The controversy has intensified particularly because of the involvement of U.S. stakeholders, including tech billionaire Bill Gates, raising ethical concerns about waste management practices.
