It's one thing to have laws, it's another thing to enforce them.

Here in Ontario, Canada, we have wonderful environmental laws.  They look very
impressive.  What this government has done, is to cut back funding of the Ministry of
the Environment drastically, so the number of inspectors out there is but a fraction of
what it was a few years ago.  Might as well dump all that sludge in the lake, if you
know you won't get caught!

Besides, thanks to NAFTA, we Canadians and Americans can just open a plant in Mexico.
To conform with NAFTA, the Mexicans have wonderful environmental laws in place, but 
they
don't enforce them at all!  Plus, you get all that cheap labour, no enforcement of
safety regulations, and Ford and GM still charge the same for their cars.  Cha-ching!!

cheers,
frank
