  1. This ought really fire up the base ( wine moms) in Toronto and Vancouver

    Trillion dollar debt, not so much

    The most important thing is that liberal voters feel good about themselves

      2. If I throw a plastic straw in the garbage or recycling bin in Calgary it ends up in the ocean… Liberal logic.

        If a straw I throw in the garbage or recycling bin in Calgary ends up in the ocean, some city or recycling company employee should be prosecuted.

  3. My favorite take on paper straws…

    “Hey… these almost work!”

    I am easily old enough to remember eco-tards preening their virtuousness over replacing paper bags with plastic ones. Now that eco-tards are crying that plastic bags are a major eco-disaster, they have conveniently ignored the fact that they themselves are the very ones who caused it. They truly are cultists.

    Trudeau is simply an elitist asshole, attacking the average Canadian from every angle he can conceive, including multiple fronts on “the environment”, alone. F*ck Trudeau!

      1. That is the problem, isn’t it. People allow it. I was invited to participate in a bird counting event near my home. This is a small bird watching type group with government funding for tracking endangered species.

        Everything was fine and they were so eager to have our help. Then the consent form comes and it says you must be immunized against COVID19 to participate.

        I have to have a COVID vax to drive around in my own truck looking out the window counting birds????? Well I let them know how I feel about that and I get this little “We are reviewing the policy but it is still our policy, apologies” back.

        I am sick and tired of pussy footing around this crap. I told her she should personally be ashamed of herself for being a party to this discrimination and her organization is committing crimes against humanity. AND IT FELT WONDERFUL!!!!!

  4. He thinks and acts like a spoiled, petulant, stupid 12 year old. My apologies to 12 year olds.

    1. Not to mention the spoiled petulant stupid people, few of which quite achieve the depth of the Dauphin’s malignancy, arrogance, and outriight hatred of the useful productive members of our society.

      Tuck Furdo…!!

  5. This is what the useless bureaucrats and apparatchiks do all day, every day. There must be hundreds, perhaps thousands of them that get to have a say. Otherwise they would be tenting in front of city hall or perhaps the parliament.
    So the conundrum is what’s more acceptable.

  7. Five minutes alone in a room with some of his constituents and necessity will cause him to change his mind about plastic straws.

  9. I no longer recycle.

    Tossing everything away and stabbing Mother Gaia in the heart gives me a warm fuzzy.

    1. I separate obsessively so we can ship the plastics, which can’t be recycled, off to third world nations to stab Gaia in the heart ‘over there’. We can all feel so green and so very smug.

    2. I appreciate your right to pursue your happiness but if I may make a suggestion; send them all of the worthless paper and cardboard and plastic you can and never any metal. Attack the BS economics of the recycling pointlessness.

      If they’re fighting this hard to NOT take plastic bags then give ’em to them at all costs.

      Half a roll of unsticky cellophane packing tape loosely wrapped around an amazon box must be a colossal pain in the ass too.

      1. I bought my mother a stick to help her pick things up off the floor. From Wellwise. It is literally a thin piece of metal, about 3 feet long with a handle.

        The box is upstairs. About one foot by one foot by three and a half feet. And it was express shipped by Fed Ex.

        Sweet.

  10. Why do they have an obsessive need for hyper-prescriptive policy?

    Every little thing must be managed and ruined by the government.

  11. Have y’all not noticed that all this Anti Plastic BS never seems to be directed to those who use the most in retail..??

    When you buy electronics and other such items at Costco, Best Buy, Walmart et all. Notice how thick that clamshell packaging is….? likely 1000+ times more volume than that of a plastic grocery shopping bag.

    As for our oceans…the biggest issue facing them is OVERFishing – by Whom you ask..??
    JAPAN
    CHINA
    INDONESIA
    THAILAND
    LAOS etc….
    It’s these (_i_)Holes who cut their fishing gear (100% plastic) and let it drop down to the ocean floor when “problems” arise.
    It’s these (_i_)holes, who chop off shark fins and toss the bodies overboard.
    It’s these (_i_)holes who corral ~10 thousand dolphins and annihilate the lot (“cause they are our competitors for food”)

    Near 50% of the plastic in our oceans is discarded fishing gear..and the rest Oriental Garbage.
    etc etc….

    Put the blame where it originates Mr PM Dipshit

    1. How racist of you!

      See how easy it is to argue from the leftist point of view. All the FACTS just disappear into the ether …

      BTW … d’ya remember when Greenpeace used to chase Russian and Japanese factory-whale-killing fleets? Why aren’t they chasing down the flotilla of peasants contributing the most to the “Giant swirling plastic patch the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific Ocean”? Err … nobody could FIND that plastic patch on satellites or ships … so it became “micro plastics”. Global Warming became Climate Change became EXTREME weather. There is no DIRECT EVIDENCE for any of this … nor was there for MASS COVID DEATHS … but the LIES get repeated until they become established “fact”.

      Having said that … NO country, and NO person should be a litterbug who fouls the planet for our fellow man. My single use plastic goes into the bin, which goes into the landfill. That is the appropriate “solution” to our convenient plastics use. Should we use paper burger clamshells instead of styrofoam clamshells? Why not? But let the Free Market and The Consumer decide that … not by Government LAW.

      1. LMAO Kenji.

        Truth hurts…no.?
        My plastic goes into the same bin..GARBAGE to be buried 15 mikes from my Condo.

        But here’s the thing, most Californians are dumb as a stump..present folks here not included.

        Was in San Francisco bk in 2001, Dec. Driving cross the Frisco Oakland Bridge in a down pour..had a smoke and tossed the butt out the window..Well you’d a thunk I ran over Christ himself… Absolutely unreal folks completely losing their effin minds shaking their fists – giving me the finger etc.

        Later that evening, was having dinner at a bar, watched the guy behind the counter collecting huge Garbage cans of Wine/beer bottles..I asked him what they do with them – he says we throw em in the garbage…!! Seriously.,??

        Enivronment Morons. Recycling apparently not in the local lexicon, but God forbid ya don’t throw a 1″ butt out your car window. Effin unreal.

        Quite the State…

  12. Here in Nova Scotia I am allowed one black garbage bag per garbage cycle, but I must put said black bag in a clear bag or my garbage is deemed “Not up to code”. Honestly the econuts are out to forking lunch, I once found two management types digging through my garbage, I reported them because neither had hazmat training nor wore gloves whilst they dug about the dog poo. As for paper straws, they collapse and become quite dangerous to one’s person, I suppose if we choke to death on one we can sue the Liberal Regime of ivory tower nutjobs?

  13. Leaving restaurants and other food outlets to scramble for what will most certainly be more costly alternatives and all this while supply chain issues are still a thing. Final analysis – higher costs for everyone.

    Typical garden variety Liberal’s response: “They’ll figure it out…necessity is the mother of invention” which is right up there with that other socialist shibboleth “…the budget will balance itself”.

  15. I wish that those asswholes/cabinet ministers meeting in Vancouver at our expense have to eat with the wooden utensils that are replacing the temporary plastic stuff that they are foisting on us, the lowly scum workers!
    Yeah, l know, it ain’t gonna happen!
    Save a f___king tree already.

  16. I long to be treated like an adult and allowed to make intelligent choices about dealing with my food storage, eating utensils and trash.

    Having said that, perhaps we will now no longer have the over-packaging of all those tiny things we buy at the hardware store, no more have superfluous plastic wrapping our vegetables, and vegetable oils (which absorb plastics) and other oil based foods offered in plastic bottles.

    Plastics are appropriate for many non-food uses. Scan the aisles of grocery and hardware stores and try to imagine alternative containers – what did we do before plastics?

    Imagine life without yogurt containers! Imagine all those government employees at the check-out making sure your carry home bags are the right size and material!

    Luckily I’m an old lady and can get help at the grocery store carrying out all those heavy glass and metal containers. I might have to burn more fossil fuels to get him to come home with me to help unload them and then take him back to work.

    Plastics – a blessing and a curse.

  18. I’m a compulsive cheapskate and have large plastic straws that I wash after use. I wash what little plastic cutlery I have til it breaks. I carry around a little kitchen box in the back of my truck full of cutlery and dishware for picnics and camping anyway.

    I could care less about plastic straws and cutlery.

  19. How stupid do you have to be to believe this bullshit about plastic straws destroying the planet?
    How gullible are these idiots anyway?

  20. Just sitting at Wendy’s with my trophy wife and pondering the plastic forks, ketchup container salad container and frosty container, some of which used to be served in paper products, and now plastic for everything but the damn toilet roll that you put in your mouth to suck your drink.

  21. I am old enough to remember “paper” straws. At least they had a wax (or other) coating so they didn’t disintegrate partly through the drink. The new “paper” straws are useless.

  22. My eldest stopped by and brought me an Ice Capp, i didn’t get more 2 slurps in before it ceased up. Speaking of Tim Horton, anyone else wish Justin would go for a spin down the QEW Niagara in a De Tomaso Pantera?

  23. Policy that hurts the base the most. A hard reset to a world where you need to grow and cook your own food will not favour the Turdopians.

  24. We even have this….Plastics Regulatory Affairs Division under Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Canada. So I wonder how many people are working full time on this? Are there not more pressing problems facing this country which government time, effort, and funds could be spent?
