Canada's Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Steven Guilbeault speaks during a press conference in Ottawa on Oct. 26, 2021. Guilbeault announced on Monday the dates that Canada will ban some single-use plastics.he Canadian government is banning companies from importing or making plastic bags and Styrofoam takeout containers by the end of this year, their sale by the end of next year, and their export by the end of 2025.
The federal government listed plastics as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act last year which paved the way for regulations to ban some. However, a consortium of plastics producers is suing the government over the toxic designation in a case expected to be heard later this year. Initially, he said the ban would happen in 2021, but the scientific assessment of plastics that was needed to put the ban in motion was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
That is interesting.
Good idea..
We need to ban Joe Biden. Turdo did the same.
How the heck am I going to take my goldfish for a walk now?
Puff 🔧🔩🤞⚙️🗜️
Styrofoam is a real pain in the ass to deal with.
That's a good move
How come Canadians make shit happen and we can’t?
What if, like grocery bags, we brought our own reusable Tupperware from home when we can.
I’m old enough to remember being told we had to stop using paper bags to save the planet. Still waiting for even one of their predictions of climate driven catastrophe to come true, where are all the permanently sunken countries they promised?
This will solve all the problems created by Trudeau..sure to win him a massive majority next election.
Good decision. Let's eliminate plastic bags and save the environment.
Excellent. Hope it’s not too little to late.
