Thanksgiving Pairing Suggestion: Sides with a Pint
It is Vancouver, our international neighbor to the North, that has been smelling the garbage piles filling up their region's landfills. To deal with the looming garbage issue, Vancouver's Metro voted to export its overflowing garbage to the U.S. (including Washington State). With easy access to rail transportation, it's no wonder why select Washington landfills are being considered as one of Canada's newest contracted dumping sites. Now will our landfills feel the brunt of Vancouver's 2010 Olympics waste, too? Here in the U.S. we have enough trash to deal with, including the nation's reported 64.5 percent of garbage which ends up into landfills--and we recycle.

C'mon Vancouver, more than 85% of Canada's population lives within 200k of the border and the country boasts one of the lowest population densities in the world - Just load your garbage into a trebuchet, set it on fire and sling it sizzling through the air into the Yukon. No one will know! 0.1 people per square kilometer, with a .1 margin for error? Advantage: Garbage Slingshot.
It would be a lot easier to bitch if Seattle didn't send all of its garbage (after separating recyclables of course) to Oregon.

Yeah, but Oregon is filled with nothing and Republicans.
