I'm shocked that Vancouver and Victoria don't top this list




Well that placing of Vancouver and Victoria apparently has to do with there being ......................


LARGER CITIES in third world countries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But the real fact of plastic in the ocean is that people in third world countries....................


DO NOT MIND throwing trash at sea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


After all - New York City dumped its trash at sea for many years - until a BIG PILE OF IT........................


washed back on shore and ruined summer at the beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And there is old legislation on the Toronto books specifying.........................


NO DUMPING OF DEAD HORSES OR OTHER DEAD ANIMALS INTO THE HARBOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Imagine drinking THAT WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Apparently in the old days it was not uncommon to tow dead horses and such out onto the lake ice.....................


and leave them there - to float away or whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



it was a "free flush"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gill netting needs to be banned worldwide not just Western countries.
Nothing wrong with gill netting. It is seine nets and draggers that need to be eliminated. Gill nets target fish by size of the openings. Smaller fish swim through and larger ones mostly bounce off.

Gill nets are indiscriminate. Seining is targeted.

Nah. It's kind of a mess in spots.






So...........you could encourage people in the lower main land to build sewage treatment plants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And you could encourage farmers to be more careful about applying pesticides and insecticides and fertilizer.......................


onto fields near water ways - so the crap does not end up getting washed into water ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


See- lots of useful things you could do........................


besides railing at people who despise LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Northern Ontario,
Even with all your punctuation you are not quite right!
People might take you more seriously if you used less.


By analyzing the waste found in the rivers and surrounding landscape, researchers were able to estimate that just 10 river systems carry 90% of the plastic that ends up in the ocean. Eight of them are in Asia: the Yangtze; Indus; Yellow; Hai He; Ganges; Pearl; Amur; Mekong; and two in Africa – the Nile and the Niger.Jun 8, 2018



Only two in Africa!

Just LOOK at the LIE-beral INSISTENCE that the carbon tax rebate .............................


WILL GIVE CDNS BACK MORE MONEY THAN THEY PAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

will have the gravy they need to EXPAND IT EVEN FURTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Have LIE-berals been gathering magic MUSHROOMS as well as magic money beans??????????????????????????
