Guilbeault's ban on plastics ruled 'unconstitutional' as it undermines provincial jurisdiction
Federal Court quashed a cabinet order to list plastics as 'toxic,' claiming it is 'too broad.' This latest decision follows a Supreme Court ruling that denounced the Impact Assessment Act as 'unconstitutional.'
Have recently discovered the dumbest idea to ever come out of the mind of a Green: rapidly biodegradable trash bags. I use coffee grounds for compost, and I left a bag on my back porch for a couple of days... and it disintegrated. I now have a nice mocha stain on a quarter of my porch.
It is, most of these bags are going to a landfill, where them rotting will not matter.
Now you'll have to stain the rest of the porch mocha.
Oh, even worse, the stained part of the porch is the part I had just replaced, so I have to stain the rest when I replace it. Dark porches and Florida sun, so comfy on the feet.
It is even worse than you imagine. Those are just plastic adulterated with starch so that it breaks apart quicker into small bits of plastics. What's the other great environmental disaster? MICROPLASTICS! They are now less reusable than before. No more keeping damp garbage in them then disposing weekly. No more keeping for a later date.
That's not a new concept is the thing. King of the Hill did a tear down of environmentalism in the 90s, the infamous low flow toilet episode.
I have enough plastic straws stashed for the rest of my life.
Fuck your paper-taisting cylinders.
God I miss plastic straws, they've all been replaced with paper/cardboard ones in Australia and I can't be fucked buying a personal metal one to carry around 24/7. They affect the taste of drinks and disintergrate/fall apart too quickly.
You just need to develop a coke habit then it will be worth it in the long run.
I bought a set of steel ones when all the bans started come in over here.
For the little people of course. Trudeau himself will, obviously, be allowed to use all the plastics in those little shooty things his bodyguards carry around, in his and in their armors, in his and their vehicles, the lining on his and their soda cans, etc.
Funny, my workplace was just given a batch of corpo-branded cylinders containing collapsible reusable hard plastic straw sets.
Plastic is literally Hitler.
"Plastic" is a pretty fucking broad category. We're talking about everything from glue sticks to PLA to epoxy resin to fluoropolymers. These are all "plastics" and have wildly different chemistry. They might as well ban "chemicals" or "drugs".
