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.'
"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".
