Western Standard- Guilbeault says drop the plastic forks and eat with your hands
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s department recommends Canadians eat with their hands to comply with a federal ban on single-use plastic forks. Food trucks should also ask customers to bring their own containers instead of using takeout polystyrene boxes, the department said.

Well if you guys in Moose Jaw hadn’t been throwing your plastic straws and forks into the Pacific Ocean.
Good arms, btw, that’s a long way to throw a plastic fork, but still…
How much of this is to reduce population?
Filthy reuseable grocery bags that spread disease, no disposable cutlery so eat with your hands or use some unwashed stuff that you carry everywhere, a push for public transport and public use cars to spread more disease.
But it can be fashionable!
You know, like utensils necklaces or velcro to your hat…
Cool man, really cooooool.
I missed out on those beer holders hat with gravity straws…oh that’s right, coke cans hide the booze…
Cops tend to get touchy with them in public with Beer.
Brown paper bags to hide the booze. Think of the trees!
I noticed in the supermarket the other day, those reusable bags they sell are proudly announced as having been made from recylced plastic. Well, what happens when we stop using plastic?
Tell them to F O, and don’t do it, The ONLY power they have, is what we give them
I don’t care. I’ve always been a cheap ass and wash my plastic cutlery!
1000 plastic forks on Amazon for 36 bucks. I’ll add a couple boxes to my collection of 2000 plastic straws.
I recently bought 1000 clear 3mil T-shirt bags – basically the same thing the shops used to use, without the logo.
I stuff a few in my pocket when I go shopping, and pile my goodies into them at the checkout. I get some odd looks.
The only thing a bit different from the past, is that there is no rack to hold the bags while I fill them.
No more dealing with the crappy paper bag of the day – always different, never convenient, or the “reusable” plastic bags – yeah … never seen ANYONE re-use them.
Oregon forces the shop to charge you 5c per bag. The U-LINE plastic ones come out at ~3c each.
Does his/her/its recommendation only apply to electric powered food trucks, or also the run of the mill killing the planet version?
Drop your plastic forks and spread your cheeks.
He should remind us to only use our right hands for eating food. The left is for dealing with the, ahem, aftermath.
I am quite sure that bans on plastic bags etc is less to do with “saving the planet” than it is saving cost. I know that the big stores buy bags dirt cheap, but they are not free: multiply the small cost by the millions that are handed out every year and it mounts up.
The left is for dealing with the, ahem, aftermath.
Toilet paper’s been banned, too?
If you steal someone else’s carbon and plastic footprint, can one continue as Before Guilbeaut? Does it count if you kill someone and take their carbon footprint.
Give the people you hate a few Pfizer booster shots and turn them into carbon sinks. Done.
Preparing you for your future third-world lifestyle.
But have no fear, that silverware that had been in your family for generations that you had to hock when you lost you job, your home, and your bank account for saying the wrong things?
They picked it up at bargain prices and are using it for their backup silver at their fourth home’s kitchen.
The 1880’s are cool again!
Exactly! We are all being pushed to live like the 3rd worlders we are importing here. Or like the “beautiful, peaceful, eco-respectful, noble, indigenous peoples. Living in the dirt.
Next up, bobbing for French fries while they’re still in the fat. Those little trays are decimating the sea turtles.
Wait! Isn’t that fryer fat destined for some eco-car’s gas tank? Remember when THAT 1970’s retread was suddenly popular again in 2008 when Obama’s election “calmed the seas”? Everyone’s car would be fueled by excess MacDonalds grease?
Uh … Yeahhhhhhh … haven’t heard about that for a while
French Fry Oil
Hmm,,I seriously looked at doing a conversion on my Duramax…
Things to consider:
Need a good steady source.
Need significant storage space as the oil settles and is filtered.
The Oil needs to be filtered…Big time.
A 10 mU filter…or tighter..?
Separate tank in the vehicle for said oil…heat traced..(the oil needs to be at a decent temp..~ 90-100F min), needs to be fully sprayable via your injectors
And it requires a Start up procedure, whereby you start your engine on Diesel, warm up the truck/oil…then switch over to the oil….and upon shutting down, reverse the process.
If your “oil” is lard based..the start up/shut down and a heat traced oil tank are imperative…!! Think winter.
Problems..??
Can cause the glazing via a form of baked on “plaque” on your intake/exhaust valving as well the crankcase.
I ended up saying, Nope, nor for me.
Simply Not worth the hassle..
No … but the “type” of person who would actually do such a thing … are typically granola-eating hippies who actually believe all fry grease should be banned … as it represents “unhealthy” eating. Oh the irony.
I would never run veggie oil in a common rail truck, or one with International’s HEUI system. I have, however, seen it used with reasonable success in older IDI diesels with substantially more forgiving injection pumps and injectors in regards to foreign matter.
No, like Britain, we will be eating our putine out of newspapers.
May God bless Stephan Gullible and keep him as far away from us as possible (preferably the Antarctic continent where he can feel free to implement all of the green energy policies his feeble leftist brain can imagine including less fossil fuel use).
What have the penguins done to deserve something like that?
It’s a good thing my parents aren’t around to see this. They would be greatly disappointed that all the time and effort spent in teaching me proper table manners was all for nothing.
If anyone has any excess forks, straws, ect from take-out, walk around the eating public and charge five cents for the item.
Guilbeault is a sad failure of a man. He will regard this attempt at strong-arming the public as one of the happiest days of his meaningless life.
Just like, after this winter, I suspect that Germans will be quite happy to see some global warming; I’m really starting to warm up to the clot shots that stand to wipe out mostly pussies and liberals………conservatives should have known.
I was thinking the same thing but didn’t dare put it in writing. Those shots will wipe out most of the low IQ crowd who got multiple jabs & hypoxia from the face diapers.
I’ve been on that bandwagon for a while myself. Aside from the coerced.
I’m hoping the spawn of our enemies are fully jabbed too.
I predict a strong black market for basic disposable hygiene products in the 4th quarter.
A moot point. Rising food prices and availability will make street vendors and food trucks a thing of the past anyways. And if you’re a restaurant that provides takeout service, good luck to ya.
“Food trucks should also ask customers to bring their own containers…”
I have to ask…are there any effing grownups in that clown act??
No. They are ideologues pursuing their cherished Green Utopia. Reality need not intrude and indeed is not welcome amongst them.
How about we drop Guilbeault and continue using utensils?
Il est tombé sur la tête étant enfant.
D’accord/
What exactly are these developmentally retarded Marxists claiming to accomplish with this?
Are plastic forks really that big of an issue?
Think of all the poor sea turtles with plastic cutlery sticking out of their shells.
95% of all plastic in the oceans originates in the country he admires most, Feck the father, the son I hope he chokes, feck the whole damn place from coast to coast…….I’m censoring the last line on advice from my legal team.
And what the hell do you need TP for, hm? Who do you think you are? The Queen?
I recommend that the Minister and his department do other things with their hands and with themselves..
As I recall, Dear Leader’s step daddy, PeeAir’s government banned paper bags and forced everyone to go to plastic to save the trees.
We need more single use politicians.
Ignore the feds. Do what you want. These guys are nuts.
All I can say, is that My favourite Burger Shop, 5 Guys in SE Calgary provide plastic Straws…!!
And on a side Note, I am officially Done with Tim Horton’s, not only do their Paper straws suck, their Ubber Woke Mgmt needs a Class action Lawsuit Aimed at them – Flat out Discrimination against Young inner city children wanting to attend one of their camps:
Vaxxed – OK…..non Vaxxed..?? Verboten!!
Not only is this cruel but borders on pre-meditated Murder by forcing children to accept the jab.
Tim Horton = SS
Tim Hortons, who only hire TFWs, is overpriced and overrated Sysco garbage “food”. Stay away from fast food peeps.
Imagine taking 2 or 3 little kids for a walk up Spadina past the dirt blackened shit stained schizophrenics , alcoholics and meth-heads all the while the kid’s are picking up little sticks, stones and objects covered in 150 years of pigeon shit. You cross College grab the door handle to Smokes Poutine order up, add live crickets and meal worms and let the little kids feed Steven Guilbert by hand in front of Ian Havamaskking live on CTV.
The GTA, Montreal & Ottawa area voters…
Well done, douches. Low IQs rejoice
The farmers of the country should starve those areas. Completely. And while we are at it, we should shut off all oil and gas pipelines to those areas. They think they have the “power”….maybe it’s time to show them they don’t.
The spice must flow.
Remember in the eighties they banned paper bags, why-because paper was contributing to the destruction of our forests. Every couple decades liberal morons go back to their ole ways, they really do think we are to stupid to remember their previous climate policies. The same people who want us wearing masks 24/7 want us to eat with our dirty covid hands. FO, seriously Trudy and your army of simpletons-FO.
Off topic: Hey Canadians…what’s the deal with all your doctors dying this month?
https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/warmington-triathlete-27-becomes-5th-gta-doctor-to-die-in-july
They got their vaccines and now they got their heart attacks 🙁
They died from Donald Rumsfeld’s known unknowns.
Let’s start this in Parliament and see how it goes.
Let’s see. Eating with your hands. I wonder what sort of possible downside risks there are to that. Is there maybe a reason people started using clean eating utensils?
“Now is the time that we juxtapose”
Steven Gilbert’s “eat with your hands”
vs
Last week’s Indian politicowalla that drank, on camera, dead body fetid traditional river water and is now hospitalized.
They want us dead.
Of course, those of us whose eyes have been opened want them dead.
Here you go….

Expect soon to see the MSM broadcast Maxwell’s obituary after an unexpected death due to COVID, alone in her cell when the cameras were off and no guards were around. No autopsy required.
Guards will be found to have been “buying furniture” on-line instead of checking up on Maxwell-did-not-kill-herself.
The alternatives described are anywhere from 3X to 10X more expensive and not a single bureaucratic leach bats an eye. After all they are just someone else’s nickels and dimes.
If they are serious about saving the planet then they should show Leadership!™ by eliminating all air conditioning in all government and school buildings.
See how the university students react to practicing what they preach on climate.
You can buy cases of 500 knives, forks or spoons at Costco for about 18 bucks each.
Take your own to the food truck and laugh at the leftoids eating with their hands.
On second thought take a few extras with you.
Selling to the finger lickers a $1 per utensil could pay for your meal.
I’d like to pull the little fukers arms off and sissy slap him with his own hands.
Let them eat cake. Let them eat it with their hands.
Some of these kooks need to have an unscheduled release of their carbon onto the environment.
The sensible and logical followup to banning fertilizer. Who needs utensils when they don’t have food?
How would this ass hole like to try and eat with no f$&king teeth.
