Le chef Pierre Poilievre veut mettre un frein à l’interdiction des emballages en plastique à l’épicerie, une initiative des libéraux qui, selon lui, compliquera la vie et coûtera cher aux familles.

Watching this shit unfold from outside Canada is stunning.

I understand not all nations have the same political culture.

But in France, everyone is aware that we consume far too much plastic and it’s seriously harming both our health and environment. Claiming you support plastic packaging is political suicide.

    I saw them at a coffee shop in Field, BC a few years ago and asked the owner about them, as I thought at first they were maybe pasta or some kind of starch-based bioplastic (the holder was just labelled ‘biodegradable straws’); they felt just like a good sturdy plastic straw. The ones I saw were translucent beige, but websites I find them on show opaque green straws so I don’t know what the difference is there.
