Don’t like it? Ban it!

As someone who sees the use of plastic cutlery at crowd events as a wonder of modern sanitation, I find Shiny Pony’s latest foray into another environmentalist minefield unsurprising. The philosophical course of his government seems focused on fully embracing the marvels of the dark ages.

The ban will be on single-use plastics including checkout bags, cutlery, food-service ware made from or containing plastic that is hard to recycle, ring carriers, stir sticks and straws, the  government said in a statement.

  1. Grocery bags aren’t single use. They get reused as lunch bags and garbage bags. If I can’t get plastic grocery bags I’ll be buying plastic garbage bags.

        1. Since when did Justin care about Public health?

          If you’re implying Justin is an idiot, I agree.

      1. I know not everywhere in Canada do you get milk in plastic bags, but they are definitely single use. Is Blackie going to tell the Milk Cartel they can’t use them anymore? Somehow I doubt it.

    1. Well that is the first propaganda lie of the greenies. Never refer to things plastic as “single use”, because we know they re not. To do so is to hand th eargument to the evil ones.

    2. My daughter just had her second son via C-section … and the amount of single use plastic used by the Medical Staff would fill a 50gal. drum. Every instrument is packaged in sterile plastic containers and disposed of after ONE use.

      I guess your PM wants a return to Civil War operating theaters (read: canvas tents) with some moonshine splashed on the multi-use scalpel between patients? Let the “eco idgiots” all move to isolated communes where they can live in the dirt and eat crickets … and leave the rest of us the hell alone.

      1. Kenji

        One wonders whatever happened to their autoclaves…?

        Recycled into something utterly useless no doubt…

        1. Autoclaves are so … 1960’s … now we order sterilized instruments from China … all wrapped up neatly

  2. Won’t the garbage bag be single use? Maybe get back to the days where we just throw our refuse onto the public street or in waterways, hey that’s where a lot of the plastic in oceans comes from now (3rd world garbage system).

    I’m guessing Cdn plastic in oceans likely comes from recycling programs that ship the garbage to 3rd world for processing, like those adult diapers we sent to Phillipines.

  3. I’ve seen nor heard any indication as to what they will use to replace plastic forks and knives with. I guess the government doesn’t like families going out on picnics. (sigh)..

    1. We shall use paper forks and knives of course. Just like all environmentalist alternatives, they don’t work.

      1. and how many Canadians will tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine? Probably just me and my letter will be ignored just like the countless others I have written to moron politicians over the years.

      1. Soylent Green the movie missed the entire part about there being a chip in the food puck that reports in when you’ve taken your proper nourishment, or they send a beatdown squad if you fail to do so.

    2. Remember we went plastic years ago to SAVE THE TREES here in the land of Bring Cash.

      Well, it’s back to cutting all the trees down again.

      EnvironMENTALists, responsible both times. Were they wrong then, or wrong now?

    3. Actually I stopped by a McDonalds the other morning and had an order of pancakes. They gave me a knife and fork made of wood. I kid you not.

  4. The plastic tag on a recent loaf of bread I bought was made of stiff paper. When I opened the bag, the tag bent and became completely useless.

    1. Justin will say you can buy a fresh baguette each day. And like in France you don’t need a bag, or bring your own.

    2. We have been inflicted with those useless bread ties here in the Great Southern Penal Colonies.

      Use a clothes peg; plastic, of course!

  5. I find it strange that the feds can “ban” the manufacture of stuff like this. I’d say just ignore the pricks.

      1. There’s a reason they put shows like Alone, Forged in Fire, and Mountain Men on TV. You are supposed to be learning to carve your own spoon and make your own knife to prepare you for the post-national Canada coming soon from our friends at the WEF.

  6. sooooo monsieur TURDeau, please advise me regarding the ‘green revolution’, what, WHAT am l gonna do to get 60 pounds groceries home on my MOUNTAIN BIKE, jammed into the PLASTIC milk crate carrier, and tied to the handles of said container?
    hmmm?
    l gotta buy reusable CLOTH bags? ’cause when l tie them on good and secure, the only way to retrieve the contents is to CUT THE HANDLE.
    aaand my trump card: WTF IS MORE ‘GREEN’ for the environment than a BICYCLE???
    hmmm?
    godam you you racist lying trust fund brat ooooh gawd l hope you get stage 4 liver cancer by the time the ban is in force. lve never wished a world leader DEAD more than l do you now for what you’re doing to my nation. you are a scourge on the land. l really, truly resent and deeply profoundly HATE the present leader of this pathetic bunch of SHEEP.

    please God. kill him.

  7. More and more dairy cartons come with plastic spout caps. Me thinketh the government has no idea what it’s doing. Shocking…

    1. Of course they have no idea what they are doing!
      In cars, the dashboards and interior side panels are formed from plastic. Bumpers and fenders are resilient (bendable) plastic.
      The stupid is strong with politicians.

  8. This is definitely the worst prime minister in Canadian history, and he must be stopped.
    But the politicians who are supposed to be watching out for our interests (I’m looking at you Conservative Party of Canada) remain silent.
    Like good little feckless sheep. And say they win election. Will they do anything to reverse it? I think not.
    And to the pig stupid Canadian electorate and more, who keep voting for “people” like trudeau. F–k you!! As we spiral down the festering bung hole of self destruction.

  9. Filthy Liberals. Brownface Sparkle Sox POS NDP Raysis Trudeau just banned single use rubbers at Pride Parades. Why does he hate Gay People? What’s his bumchums Regan and Butz gonna do meow? Bummer.

  10. Man oh man! turdo’s gonna get reamed with a fist-fill of hard plastic implements!

    Who do you think will do it first … the petroleum industry, or the Conservatives?

    Okay, okay. Just being stupid.

  11. I stopped recycling a couple of years ago. My own little personal protest during Covid.
    Gaia can burn….

    It makes me happy to make that ugly bitch Greta cry….

    And her friends…

    1. FILTHY LIBERALS.. We tried to bring a 30 yr old mattress to the dump. They wanted $40. So we went back home, burned it…I mean “returned it to the environment quickly” and took the metal coil frame back to the dump and threw it in the metal pile for FREE….sand in the machinery…,

  12. Banning Liberal gov’t will do more to protect the planet than any of their measures could ever hope to do.

  13. So we must use/throw away less plastic but must also import several millions more immigrants who will increase the quantity of plastic used/thrown away in Canada.

    That reminds me about 5 years ago the CBC had published numbers that showed that if you had less kids, that kept co2 from increasing by x amount and thus was good for the planet…
    but on another page the CBC was telling us we must take in millions of immigrants.

    According to the CBC’s “logic” adding a million kids increased co2 but adding a million immigrants did not.

    Apparently immigrants are magical creatures that do not emit directly or indirectly any co2! they don t drive cars, don t heat their house, don t cook food, don t use hot water, don t cause any increase in the co2 emited!!!

    Magical those immigrants are!

    And now Trudeau is applying the same ” logic” to plastic use.

    Adding ten million immigrants in the next few years will not increase how much plastic is used and thrown away

    Those damn immigrants are magical I am tellin ya!

    1. Yep. They are happy with their dirt floors at home and the dirt floors at the hospital we brought them here to work at as a nurse.

      And you’ll learn to love your dirt floors too.

  14. Because I’m a genetic cheap ass, I actually wash my plastic cutlery for reuse.

    So Trudy can do what she wants because I am bulletproof.

    And I sewed my own grocery bags because I won’t use that weird plastic crap reusable bags. My grocery bags are awesome because they are custom designed for me and my truck. And one of them is insulated.

    So many people ask me where I got them. But most people are so helpless they are unable to sew anything. I taught my boyfriend to sew and now he’s sewing nonstop. Gear bags and tarps for everything.

  15. Excellent. Let’s go back to the unsanitary ways of yore and kill off the useless mouthbreathers.

  16. This single-use rule should be applied for PM role. Because theTurd is waay past due. And of course he doesn’t care about plasticware, he’s always used silver/gold spoons.

  17. How dare you criticize our Prime Minster! Justin Trudeau bases all of his decisions on data and science and who knows the data and science and is more concise on that than him?

    Why just listen to him.

    And what about those selfish people who don’t think about the environment and refuse to reuse their plastic syringes, catheters, nephrostomy bags or colostomy bags?

  18. Well there ya go.
    I blame all those people in Moose Jaw who were throwing their plastic grocery bags into the Pacific Ocean.
    Must be some strong arms there to throw them that far.

    But, this will accomplish the Liberal’s goal: The idiots will feel good about themselves and vote for them again while unwrapping the plastic cover for their paper straw.

  19. “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

    ― C. S. Lewis

  20. Pandemics are loved by governments like Trudeau’s so anything they can do to help spread disease is a plus.
    Like reusable grocery bags.

  21. My son, who is in a supported grade 12 class, was sent home with a large package of Covid tests that I assume the school is trying to clear out as the school year ends. (Probably clearing shelves for the new September delivery of thousands of Covid tests).

    They all immediately became zero-use plastic as I tossed them in the plastic single use garbage bag.

  22. I’m actually surprised that a UHT (ultra-high temperature) generating plant hasn’t been constructed in Saskatchewan or Manitoba. All the plastic from all over Canada could be sent there to generate electricity…it would also provide “waste” heat to provide heat for a number of greenhouse operations…imagine fresh tomatoes/cucumbers/peppers, etc grown in Canada in the middle of February. We could even send our useless RCN out to collect all that plastic floating around the ocean(the mythical plastics island). If we’re going to throw money away–might as well use it to provide consistent electricity instead of the bird-killer windmills.

  23. Keep it up, aholes. Soon you’ll have thousands of Canadians printing knives and forks, in an unregulated economy, to meet demand.
    Then we’ll start printing guns.
