Nine out of 10 respondents to a survey about the impact of plastic waste on the environment say they are concerned or very concerned about the problem, and 82 per cent say they believe that government should be doing more to tackle it.

you could not get a stronger mandate from the people on an action they would like to see taken.

hard to understand when this public support is there what is taking government so long to get moving.

Northern Ontario,
If 82% are in favor of making a law for recycling, it must mean that 82% are already recycling, so would a law increase the percentage?

How much of the 82% are ready to financially support an enhanced program to create a force to enforce better recycling and picking dumpsters/garbage bins/garbage dumps across the country.

POOR STUPID HOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


His hypocrisy is on display yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Wynne-bag Ontari-owe LIE-berals had FIFTEEN YEARS to do "something about plastic"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And Our idiot Boy Justin and his federal loser LIE-berals have had 3.5 years in which to "do something about plastic"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And the ONLY thinbg LIE-berals have done is impose a carbon crap and trade tax SCAM on us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The carbon SCAM is so blatantly a tax ripoff that it destroyed Wynne-bag LIE-berals and is well on the way to destroying Our idiot Boy as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And the carbon tax scam has DONE NOTHING for the environment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In related news it has been grudgingly admitted by LIE-berals that ONLY about 11 percent of the stuff dropped in a blue box was ever recycled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The other 89 percent ended up in a land fill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And now that Chinba has stopped accepting western material for recycling........................................


LIE-berals are in a panic over what to do with our TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The first solution that LIE-berals immediately turned to was incineration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Durham Region already has in operation an incinerator that was built over major public protests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And it has not helped public perception about incineration that the new incinerator REPEATEDLY FAILED to burn as clean as its builders and designers claimed it would!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Region politicians dealt with the incinerator failures in a series of CLOSED DOOR HEARINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Public attitudes to incinerators are now so hostile that when Region leaders suggested increasing the burn rate at the incinerator by 40 percent- a rate still well within its rated capacity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Politicians were persuaded to shelve the burn rate increase idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As for all the plastic in the environment................................................


hypocrite LIE-berals are ignoring thwet reality that much of it comes from OUR CLOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes- when we wash nylon, dacron, rayon etc, micro fibres are released!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There are even bits of plastic in our tooth paste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our toothpaste even has so called plastic "micro bubbles"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Take a walk through any public park and have a look at the plastic litter stuck on fence lines and in trees!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And then understand that every piece of it was dumped there by little bugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And littering used garner a FINE in the old days before LIE-berals decided that enforcing ANY LAW was more trouble than it was worth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And LIE-berals once had the grand idea that we should more often use recyclable containers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But that idea has been forgotten as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And LIE-berals WHINE that too much stuff that is NOT recyclable ends up in blue boxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And yet a lot of that stuff HAS the recyclable symbol on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Is that NOT FRAUD to pretend that a thing is recyclable when it is not?????????????????????


Why are LIE-berals not acting on that????????????????????


And is it not amusing that after being in office for 3.5 years..................................


suddenly our Environment Minster Climate Barbie McKenna wants to talk about plastic waste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And she RESOLUTELY REFUSES to admit that her sudden interest in plastic waste is not just another FAILED effort to get us talking about something other than Lavalin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our idiot Boy no longer has any credit for ethics and no credit for being a Feminist but apparently he still thinks he has some credit as an environmentalist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And LIE-berals think that banning plastic bags will get them re-elected after their stunning economic ineptitude in running up $100 BILLION dollars of new debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe if we wrapped it in plastic. . .




Perhaps we could wrap you in plastic??????????????????????


Then we could make bets and see if some cop would come rescue you????????????????????


Of course if we told them in advance just WHO was in need of rescue they might all rush off and be tied up for days in that "NEW TRAINING" you so vehemently CLAIM THEY NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You should know the old cop formula................................



NO CONTACT = NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But GOSH Tecumsehbonesforbrains....................................


Why are you being So Shy??????????????????????????


You insisted that cops needed more training!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And yet you adamantly REFUSE to give us any hint of what you think they are lacking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I think it is way past time for CALLING BULLSH+T on any comment you make about cops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In fact lets just cut to the chase and suggest you RARELY EVER say anything useful or relevant to real issues!!!!!!!


And good luck trying to disprove that statement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Newfoundland trying to bring in ban on plastic bags.

Sensible legislation that will result in less plastic pollution

If 82% are in favor of making a law for recycling, it must mean that 82% are already recycling, so would a law increase the percentage?


As only 11 percent of crap that ends up in a blue box is actually recycled...........................................................


and that was BEFORE China STOPPED taking Cdn recycling material.............................................


it suggests there IS NOT UNIVERSAL SUPPORT for mandatory recycling in Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I recall watching a CITY TV interview with a recycling depot staff member.................................


about 18 months ago- meaning right after China decreed it would not accept more CDN RECYCLING MATERIAL..............



and the guy held up a glass jar that once held pasta sauce...........................


and he told the reporter THIS JAR CANNOT BE RECYCLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Because the jar contained residue of pasta sauce and was thus CONTAMINATED WITH FOOD WASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Current blue box recycling is a LIE-beral SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



LIE-berals crow that 89 percent of our trash ends up in a blue box.................................


and then shamefully admit that only an optimistic 11 percent of it is actually reused - the rest ends up at the dump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



LIE-berals do not believe Cdns wish to wish to buy their food in heavy duty plastic bins that can be cleaned out and recycled in exchange for the HEAVY DEPOSIT they were charged at time of purchase...................................................


IN ORDER TO ensure they would bring back the durable and costly reusable container after they were finished with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals understand that the amount of energy and water that will be needed to properly clean genuinely recylible containers will be SUBSTANTIAL- and even maybe prohibitively costly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



LIE-berals KNOW that food stores DO NOT WISH to be responsible for food containers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As the sore staff dont wish to argue with customers about the COST of the deposits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And food stores CERTAINLY DO NOT WISH to store roughly cleaned food containers out back in hot weather for fear of the smell and for fear of containers attracting vermin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The cost and consequences of FORCING CDNS to use recycled food containers makes forcing Cdns to pay a carbon crap and trade tax SCAM BILL LOOK EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Banning plastic bags is only a SMALL part of the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I see all manner of plastic containers discarded casually in many public places!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And what of the cigarette butts that are a HUGE LITTER PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



You dont see a lot of aluminum cans discarded in public places because people who are short of money scoop them up for the cash value!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Putting a 5 cent or - better yet- a 10 cent deposit on ALL plastic and metal containers will ensure they are ALL brought back - one way or another!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Of course it will give the homeless the cash they need to get drunk or drugged...............................


but at least our streets and parks will be cleaner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But the homeless will get some exercise...................................


and find a small but modestly profitable place in our economy??????????????????????????


Actually having a chance to make a bit of honest money might even givs some a chance to sober up again?????????????



But.......................oh dear................paying the public to pick up trash will reduce the amount of work our civil service union Hogs will have available and thus such an idea will NEVER be acceptable to either LIE-berals or union Hogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And is it not AMAZING how many simple solutions get killed off by HOG objections????????????????????

Like? Littering laws? Deposits? Recycling programs?

What?


Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You are talking SILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals refuse to take effective action against gang banger thugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If they can ignore bulltes flying in the streets and the rapidly growing CANADIAN reputation as a haven for money laundering............


do you really think they will CARE about a little palstic refuse??????????????????????
