Much of our reliance on plastic packaging was motivated by the need for public hygiene...
Canada’s single-use plastics are not the source of ocean contamination. Banning them will impose costs and inconvenience here while doing nothing to fix the problem. As reported by Our World in Data, only a tiny fraction (about three per cent) of the world’s plastic production is handled in such a way that it can end up as ocean waste each year. Very little of that fraction comes from high-income countries because we have effective waste-management systems. Plastic that goes into a Canadian landfill has no chance of ending up in the ocean, especially if the landfill is away from rivers and coastlines. More than 50 per cent of the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch is abandoned fishing nets and gear.
Most plastic waste entering the ocean from land — 86 per cent of it — comes via a handful of rivers in Asia. Though much of that waste is domestically-produced, as of 2017 about 10 per cent was from imported plastic waste.

WHO’s pandemic treaty is ‘a ratification and approval of everything the world has experienced over the past two years’
The real significance of the Pandemic Treaty is that its passage is a ratification and approval of everything the world has experienced over the past two years during COVID-19. ... Terrified by this surge of deaths and the psychological terror campaigns deployed by governments on their own people, populations across the western world proceeded to impose an ever-darker swathe of illiberal mandates including forced masking and digital vaccine passes for everyday activities. Young children, who were at virtually no risk from the virus, lost years of primary education, and many were forced to wear masks for hours each day.
By signing onto the Pandemic Treaty, our leaders are signaling their approval for all this—and more—to be done again.
