Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

200 million years, huh? Makes me wonder why we’re not digging up any dinosaur diapers when we find all those bones…
This … is the intellect of the eco-woke. They have NO common sense, or even the most BASIC science KNOWLEDGE. Nor does this moron understand how sanitary landfills work.
I have no doubt that she will become a Block Captain of the Marxist Green New Deal She will ensure your compliance … or else.
..and now she’s doing laundry every day….what happened to water rationing?
What do dinosaurs have to do with it, Aggie?

again unOoz, you link to stuff that has NOTHING to do with that which you are referring to. Aggie is pointing at the decaying process of degradable plastics, as did my post that is now gone. Try keeping up you GD fool!
“…… to do with that which you are referring to.”
This is the sort of English up with which I will not put!
Hairy….FO
Where in the hell do these idiots think plastic comes from, outer space? All these complicated molecules come from hydrocarbons which are part of the process of taking oil and breaking it down into a lot of good fine stuff. It has lived in the ground for millions of years so who gives a shit if it came out for a bit, became useful and went back into the ground?
Styrene wasn’t invented, it was discovered. It grows on trees.
Is that farther down the road to the spaghetti farm ?
No. The spaghetti farm is my north 40. My mother used to joke that that was all it was good for. Reasonably long, but not very wide. She grew up on a proper farm.
What utter Leftist whining garbage.
You wanna save the planet.? YOU spend your own money dahling.
We tried the Cloth Diaper thing (No Subisdies – like AS IF.?)…they had velcro and worked about the same as pampers ..so yea, lets spend some $12.00 per (14 of them)
To be honest, with 2 of us working full time…that SHIT fell apart within 4 weeks. The Extra laundry was a near a full load EVERY 2nd day with a pail full of soiled ones sitting for a day Idling.
Where was the cost savings.? NONE
Where was the reduction in Energy use.?? INCREASED
And where was the desire to dump out and prewash SHITTY rank Diapers..??? GONE
yea…Pampers were a freaking godsend..!!
This..??
Typical SOCIALIST Virtue Signalling Bullshit.
And you Want me to subsidize your shitty diaper…? Get STUFFED.
I just changed my brand new grandson (5-weeks old today) multiple times when we visited him two weeks ago. Pampers/Huggies? Hells yes! Cloth diapers belong in the 1950’s … eh, progressives? It’s been 35 years since I was last a diaper-changer … and I was impressed with the advancements made in the diapers. All in all, they are lighter (function with less material) and the tapes are sorta Velcro-like and not the adhesive-type which used to get stuck to my kid’s waists when I bleary-eyed at 2am threw their diaper on.
Diapers go into the sanitary, engineered landfills … as with everything else we throw away. Diapers make up about 1.5% of the landfill volume, and contribute to the methane which is collected from the mature-sealed landfills. So my grandson’s poopy diapers are fueling the landfill operations … My daughter should get an energy-generation dividend payment for her diaper loads.
What did you change him for?
And you Want me to subsidize your shitty diaper…? Get STUFFED.
Remember what the Hildabeast said: it takes a village to raise a child, so I guess we’re obligated to pay for that princess’s brat’s diapers, right?
Being an old fellow my wife and I used a diaper service when our children were babies. Disposables were in their infancy, and were really crappy stuff.
These are some special people.
It will take 200 million years to decompose.
Think about that.
The worrier is gonna be gone in a few years.
The current crop of creatures will be all gone.
She is worrying about what ever creatures, if any, will find her diaper and ponder, hmm, hmm, hmm, those 200 million years ago must have used diapers.
You could write book about it.
However this is the end of the story.
Current crop of creatures is going down something fierce.
Even plutonium 244 only lasts 80 million years. Perhaps the council can come up with a subsidy to make diapers out of that instead.
Just think…her vote counts the same as responsible smart people, and if that’s not bad enough….she’s breeding!
Kid doesn’t stand a chance.
Milkweed packed with moss should do the trick.

I bet she works for the federal government. Probably in the military.
Nah. The military would be far too sensible for the likes of her. Maybe something equivalent to our Department of Middle Class Prosperity or something equally as vapid.
I hear the position of National Leader is opern.
I know our resident garbage expert, NME Garbage Man, can shed some knowledge on this issue. Prepare to be enlightened. Or not.
see my post to ewe up above unOoz
I seem to recall this was settled in the 1980s, when it was determined that between the cotton manufacturing and the grey water stream from the laundering, cloth diapers were no better for “the environment” than disposable.
Bottom story of the day …heh
Best head line writer ever , excepting corduroy pillows
Did no one get that ?
I got it and agreed both times. Cowboy hats are a clear #3.
[Drawl] It’s yer basic tripple entendre:
Last story, lowest importance, and… it involves hind ends. Now that there is special. [/Drawl]
I think the appropriate response is “Learn to code.”
Incineration.
My word.
Really, very good solution. Cheap, effective, hygienic, easy, low energy use, low resource use. Cheap often means little use of resources, including indirect use. And that’s everything greens oppose. You need to come up with something elite expensive, inefficient, dirty, complex, so that you feel you are trying to be a Good Person, and are unable to understand indirect energy use and pollution caused by your solution. Something like an electric car.
Maybe my brain is mis-firing but this isn’t the stupidest subsidy I’ve ever heard about. I say give her $25 a week. At least you know the money is being spent on real shit.
Umm, the agenda for the meeting is 149 pages long. How much goes on in South Glengarry that the council has to deforest a woodlot to write about it. Oh yes, I forgot, a few years back everyone was worried about clear cutting. Guess we know where that wood went
149 pages X 6 councillors and CEO X 2 meetings per month X 200 townships for rural municipal government in Ontario alone;
But hey, let’s not use paper diapers.
“…the agenda for the meeting is 149 pages long. How much goes on in South Glengarry that the council has to deforest a woodlot to write about it. …”
Good point.
But when it comes to pissing away our tax dollars on virtue-signaling green causes, the pissers don’t have to set an example.
Subsidy, eh?
I guess she instinktively knows that crowd-funding would fail.
I thought my taxes were a type of crowd funding.
No. Taxes mean the local socialists steal your money to give them to their favourite hobby.
$600? Does she realize you’re supposed to wash these out and reuse them? That point does seem to make some people go “ewwww”.
Why are diapers even necessary? Hasn’t humankind evolved into what we currently are, without any diapers whatsoever?
Peeing /pooping on the shop floor might make ppl annoyed though it has been OK for the last 350 million years. It started to go down after the capitalists first built roofs and totally awry when people started to think floors should not stink.
“South Glengarry Council in Shit Storm Session”
cloth diapers?
I dont give a rodent’s tush which was more eco-friendly.
44 yrs ago disposables STILL had a certain ‘rough around the edges’ quality, whereas after a couple rounds in the washer and dryer, CLOTH diapers became very soft and fluffy. thus, away goes another source of diaper rash.
disposables then became ONLY a backup for travel etc.
when Chrissy was born, I was, in retrospect, amazed how strongly my parental instincts came forth.
in many ways.
the missus had just graduated with higher earnings potential and I was getting burned out from rotating shifts
so I was a stay-at-home-dad and loved it.
