It seems everyone and their brother (Michiganians (?) or South-West Ontarians) is opposed to this. Some Canadian politicians have actually campaigned on ending the export of trash as an election promise. Even John Kerry said he would consider banning it. There has been some worry of health&safety, but most people opposed to the trash are opposed regardless of any safety concerns.

But the question is: Do you feel these trash exports should stop? I mean, as much as I dislike these trucks on the roads, if the trash is safe isn't it a free economy? Even for trash?
In many places, trash is shipped out and stored elsewhere. It's a thriving business.
