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.
Everyone’s aware here, too. If you were to ask most conservative voters about packaging plastic, they would likely agree that there’s way too much, or at worst not care.
PP is specifically politicising it because people kindof hate paper straws, and he will use any displeasure to slip his dick in.
Why hemp straws aren’t everywhere baffles me, they’re perfect replacements.
Bamboo straws I like as well.
Like… I get that paper straws kind of suck. But my god. We’re a week away from the election and this is what he’s talking about. These people are so childish. It feels like he’s running for class president instead of PM.
I mean, class president is the closest thing to a job he’s ever had, so…
what election hasn’t felt like that?
Never even heard of hemp straws. And I’m near Vancouver, hippy Canada to older Eastern Canadians
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.
We’ll thanks for sharing the knowledge
