Ban straws, plastic shopping bags and fast food containers. Meanwhile, Walmart and other large retailers generates millions of tons of plastic waste every year from excessive plastic packaging.

I've been forced to use more plastic bags than ever since Covid because Loblaws banned backpacks in their stores because they say that they are used for shoplifting.

Finally, I get it, it might be inconvenient to some, but it's a small price for a cleaner Canada and environment.

this is getting to be to much. how much control are we going to let this disgusting government get away with. we need a way to make government do what people want. there is no reason we can't recycle rather than cancel. that stupid Paris agreement has destroyed the recycling industry and this belligerent government will only impose rules on Canadians rather than do some real work and fix the recycling industry.

Plastic straws are better than paper straws.

Real inclusive progressives would bring people together & stage a dialogue to find a solution that makes everyone happy. But to just force laws & ban legal products & activities only to inflect one certain lifestyle on everyone else is bullying, uncivilized, undemocratic & not what real progressives do. And besides, we have made great progress in biodegradable plastic. Don't bully! The more choices we have the better our democracy.

In Feb 2020 the Eco Guards Org 1990 in NB, submitted to our Canadian Government an extensive waste plastics reclamation program, entitled The Dandelion Project, although we have not heard from them yet, This NEWS today is a great start to that project. Now is the time for a balance approach to all things pertaining to Ecology, Economy and a proper Eco Education Systems. This is very much long overdue. Understand all plastics can be reclaimed, not just some of them. And our Dandelion Project will show and do exactly that. The old ways of recycling needs to change, for those recycling systems are part of the problem. Furthermore, we did not ask for any ban on plastics, only the proper reclamation of plastic at the end of their use. Petroleum plays a great part in our economy and our ecology. Moreover, all particle plastics are toxic, they're made of petroleum and when plastics break down, they don't always float on the surface of waters. As for coffee cup lids, Eco Guards has a real Pulp, natural wax polymer solution for those, it's just no one listening. That said, these things are part of the Dandelion Project. For we've developed the 3Q's. Quickly, Quarantine for Quality of life. And this encompasses the understanding that current recycling efforts are "dead technology". We should reclaim these items, not burn or place them in landfills. For current recycling efforts cause the particularization and dispersal of those micro particle plastics to begin with.

Im not liberal by any sense, but this isn't really that big of a deal, the bigger deal is all the people who are gonna lose out on jobs who work in plants that produce these products. SO GOOD JOB ON THAT TRUDUMB you just put 1000's of people out of work again.

[Vlican]

or how about investing in our own recycling and waste sorting facilities? did you know that much of the 1st world used to send all their recycling to China before they stopped accepting it?

[vidaspence]

This Canadian is feeling hopeful, maybe there IS MORE THAN JUST TALK happening behind closed doors. Progress, one step at a time.

Why does every liberal policy suck money out of my pocket and life off my retirement?

[spelunkerd]

Centuries later they will look back at the 'plasticene' era with disgust. I hope.

Restaurants abandoning plastic cutlery doesn't seem realistic, especially in the fast-food industry.
