They're breaking out the bubbly in Ottawa!
Still smarting after Australia one-upped them in their other leadership category, health warnings on cigarette packaging, the Canucks are in the mood for gloating today.
As well they should be!
A fresh Conference Board of Canada report reveals that Canadians make more garbage per capita than any other country in the world!
In fact, the average Canadian makes more than twice the amount of garbage every year than a typical citizen of Japan.
And not only are we the world leaders in making garbage, we also lead the world in wasting fresh water!
High fives are due all round, my fellow Canadians! We are finally WORLD CLASS!!!
Canadians use nine times as much fresh water per capita as the Danes, the losers in the water-wasting sweepstakes.
Not all of the credit for that can go to individual households though... it takes enormous amounts of fresh water to boil down those Tar Sands so they'll flow through a pipeline.
So thank you, Alberta and the Tar Sands Developers, for helping make Canada a leader among nations again!
