Poilievre promises to bring back single-use plastic bags, cutlery

[fjlip]

HA HA HA green lefty illogic!

[sumdumguy]

Trudeau tried his darndest to make life as inconvenient as he could, but sure never attacked Costco, plastic thicker than ever, packages like breaking into Fort Knox.

Take all those paper bags and straws and make the virtue signaller who imposed them on us devour them - one way or another.

Trees are made to be cut!

Or knocked over and burned like the weeds they are.

And D8's were made for knocking them down.

[chuckChuck]

A5, Trees are weeds? Huh? They have no ecological or environmental benefit so we should just bulldoze and cut them all down?

Spoken like a true anti science clown!

Mountains of plastic waste growing every year with no end in sight!

The oceans are being polluted with plastic and toxic micro plastics that are now found in everything including our bodies!

And Conservatives like PP make it a campaign issue and want to do nothing about it?

In our debates about climate change over the years many posters said we should fix the plastic problem instead of worrying about climate change citing plastic pollution as a bigger problem.

Now when PP adopts another tRump policy as his own, suddenly the concern about plastics has gone quiet?

This just shows that the CPC and PP have little concern about the environment and pollution and can't be trusted, even though they give a little lip service to the idea.

PP has shown himself time and again as tRump lite at a time when Canadians find tRump is a toxic mess.

This regressive plastic policy shows that PP has given up on becoming prime minister and is fighting to save his job as the snarling leader of the official opposition.

Reducing pollution and plastic waste is a big tent vote getter that almost everybody supports except for a small band of libertarian political tourists who will soon as a small group, fit in a Woods tent from Canadian Tire!

Chuck2 when you go to A&W or Tim Hortons what percentage of the garbage you end up with is the straw? If you get an Ice Cap as an example, you have a cup, a lid and a straw. The straw is the smallest part. The cup isn’t banned, the lid isn’t banned, they are all plastic.

When you got to Canadian Tire, when you leave with your purchase what percentage is product? What percentage is packaging? Of course it depends on what you buy.

The biggest contributor to C02 emissions in my area is Amazon, an American owned company selling predominantly Chinese manufactured products. There is an Amazon contract delivery person driving down my road almost daily. The packaging from boxes to packing paper to plastic in every package is crazy. Funny how everyone wants to buy Canadian yet I don’t hear people boycotting Netflix or Disney+ or Amazon.

So Chuck2 rail on about your plastics but last time I checked I am no where near the ocean and if you live in Saskatchewan like you claim neither are you.

All that Climate Change and pollution is going to kill us is not scary enough to get the LPC elected again.
Carney makes a great effort NOT to bring it up.

Voters are over that as demonstrated by Trump's win in the US and recent European elections.

Singh and the Greens are still trying but are irrelevant.

Orange Man Bad is the new scarier replacement.
The most important election of our lifetime.
We have to elect a leader that can control Trump.

Results may vary.

Here, where the most recent land sales reached $10,000 per arable acre, trees are a very expensive weed if left to procreate on their own.

It is unbelievable how fast poplar trees will spread if not controlled.

I'm busy fixing our latest purchase, it had some periods in history where it was unused, and the trees have crept hundreds of feet out from the existing bush lines.

Some former neighbors who left in 1972 were out taking pictures around this area. They couldn't believe how much bush there was relative to when they left. Less livestock, more hobby farmers and weekend warriors, acreages etc, all letting the land go back to bush.

My neighbor's day job is managing logging operations for a large sawmill. His weekend job is planting trees all over his own farm (the irony is not lost on me). We have interesting discussions about our opposite views of trees on farmland.

"What’s really interesting to me about this paper is that it that doesn’t reduce climate and temperature down to solely atmospheric and fixed CO2, So, this paper directly contradicts the ecomodernist notion of “carbon opportunity loss.” A loss that supposedly occurs by not rewilding all agricultural land used for grazing and grasslands back to a mythical forest that never really existed or, at least, hasn’t existed for fifty million plus years in many places due to the impacts of megafauna and then the prescribed burns done by indigenous peoples

For more details on what I just wrote about megafauna and prescribed burns preventing plant succession, watch this clip below from a presentation by ecologist Peter Allen, who previously taught at Univ of Wisconsin"

If you don't know already, most rivers eventually end up in the ocean Including most prairie rivers. And a lot of the worlds population lives by the coasts.

Reducing garbage and plastics is a good policy. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Take a page from our parents and grandparents who knew how to live more carefully.

Most things are over packaged and its really unnecessary in many cases.

There are biodegradable and other alternatives that will not reduce the quality of your life Hamloc.

Have you tried leaving a couple of reusable shopping bags in your vehicle?

Or grabbing a cardboard box at the grocery store. Or god forbid, putting the items in your grocery cart and setting them on the floor or seat without a bag?

Or taking a refillable travel cup to Tim Hortons? Or bringing along a lunch and a drink from home?

I know these are all very difficult asks for some people!

But if you try it, you might actually find its not that hard and your life will be just fine!
