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

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!

What’s it like living in this funny little world where you believe your the only one with a brain?
No doubt when I pick up parts lots of times they are put in cardboard boxes. As for this reuse recycle mantra B.S. I remember listening to a talk show talking about Edmonton’s recycling plant was going to have to close because they couldn’t find anywhere to ship the gathered waste. China wouldn’t take it anymore. And what is the actually recycling rate, well under 10% I believe? I could be wrong. Now you can lecture me and say take you own beverage with you but I am looking at reality. What percentage of people stopping at Tim’s have their own cup do you think? Or at Starbucks? MacDonald’s? Progressives tend to live in a theoretical world rather than the real world.

So you agree we could all be smarter and less wasteful!

Like our parents were?
Like we were taught?
The ditch by our yard on the highway has a lot of garbage that requires picking every spring and a few times in the summer.
I'm not talking straws and plastc bags.
Unbelievable what shows up there.

Agree with you totally and always have.
Will more laws fix that?

[chuckChuck]

You were taught to throw your garbage out the window?

We sure as hell were not doing that!

PP says putting plastics in the landfill is a safe way of disposing of them! What a lie!

They will be there for 100s of years leaching persistent chemicals into the environment.

My Mother was born in the 30s.
RRR was ingrained from necessity.
She did things no fashionable green-nut would think of doing.

PP loses support over the pledge to bring back straws and single use plastics when good alternatives exist.

He should have kept his mouth shut about plastics because its not an issue that gets him any more votes, but it shows him to be a tRump follower and against common sense measures to reduce pollution.

You definitely have your finger on the pulse of Canadian voters.

This election will be won or lost on plastic straws.

[chuckChuck]

Yeah that is what PP thinks in any case! A real vote getter!

Carney went to the steel mill to announce carbon tax on heavy emitters like steel production?
Then went on to say he was going to make Canadians pay tariffs on everything that comes into the country from about everywhere but his European buddies who he wants us to join?
The union at the plant has already pledged support to Poilievre.
Workers say they don't recognize anyone in Carney's pictures with the brand new ppe and shiny hard hats.
Didn't Trudeau get trashed for trying to get a photo op at a steel mill?
Who thought it was a good idea to use that location to announce Carney's tariffs and Carbon taxes?

Carney should have kept his mouth shut about tariffs and higher carbon taxes?

[shtferbrains]

This is what real steel workers look like.
