It's dark out right now so I can't take a picture to post, but I was sad today that my favorite tree, a lovely crabapple tree my late Dad planted in our front yard, has two green plastic bags stuck in its branches the wind blew there. Plastic kills wildlife, too.
Tone deaf moron. Literally dragging the swamp to find the last remaining idiots who think this is a winning issue while our sovereignty is being threatened, AND AND AND. No one cares about plastic straws anymore and those that do are garbage humans that should just move south.
Watching the shitshow down south every day, I am sure those things are foremost on Canadians' minds.
I mean, even people who find the switch annoying (I don't care at all, paper straws and reusable bags are fine), even those folks can't possibly give a damn compared to, you know, fascism.
THIS is his follow up to last night's debate!?!? Because everyone was worried about straws as THE election issue of 2025. And this is who is going to stand up for Canada????
The audacity of these people to use the same slogan as Barack Obama is just astounding. Can't wait for election results to be in, Cons lose big, and the news to change to "Conservative Party seeks new leadership".
Yay! Especially with all the news about how we're all inhaling plastic into our lungs. Let's kill the environment for our children! Next up: Smoking will be allowed indoors everywhere! Make Poilievre Trump Again!
FUPP and FU conservatives in name only Get over it and keep up with the world of the future. No straws needed at all if you learn to drink like a person instead of sucking on a sippy cup.
Alternate headline: Right-wing straw man now grasping for straws in bid to be bold is the straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back among those with actual priorities.
What incite full and earth shattering policy and it only took 20 years to fully form and formally introduce something that you might or might not implement should you form government…awesome stuff dude.
Where have we heard that before??? Oh yes, from Trump.
Why doesn’t Poilievre try to distance himself more from his idol?? What’s next, shower heads and dishwashers???
It hasn't been an inconvenience at all to stop using plastic straws, utensils, and plastic bags. We need leaders who care about our environment and wildlife. Poilievre ain't it.
PP's position that scrapping this ban will save families $400/year is laughable.
So laughable that I can't even think of an additional pithy and humorous comment, and that angers me. Laughing until I'm angry as it were - thank you, that was cathartic.
Avec « les pailles et les sacs en plastique », Poilievre a vraiment touché le cœur de canadiens, je suis ému comme vous ne pouvez pas savoir, ému jusqu’au larmes. C’est le plus important sujet de cette campagne électorale dans un moment si crucial de crise nationale. Quel hurluberlu !
Oui, peut-être, mais il vient d’inventer une nouvelle formule électorale ; LES CHEFS CONSERVATEURS JETABLES. Souvenez-vous, la liste est longue et la poubelle n’est pas loin de Pierre Poilievre. Bon voyage l’abruti ! Qui va être le suivant ????? 😂😂😂😂😂
So out of touch with the real issues. Folks have adjusted to the ban on single use plastics. He has no real detailed plan to deal with bigger issues like Drumpf, securing our economic and territorial sovereignty and affordable living.

Oh, bringing back plastic straws is the same as Trump's announcement. Plastic straws must be a MAGA/MapleMaga. If elected Prime Minister, our country will go to hell, just as is happening in the US. #VoteCarney

PP & Cons are destructive. #cdnpoli
People aren't smart enough to think for themselves and rinse them off after shopping and drinking? What the fuck?
And the great pacific garbage patch could grow more.
Exciting.
Vote LPC!
BEHOLD THE PLASTIC STRAW!!!
Ten days out, and he thinks straws and plastic bags are a winning issue. 🙄

Yes, but there's still ten days to go. Be patient.
I mean, even people who find the switch annoying (I don't care at all, paper straws and reusable bags are fine), even those folks can't possibly give a damn compared to, you know, fascism.
PP is both an idiot and a mini-me Trumper.
Canada needs to wake up.
No one cares about plastic straws or bags. There are bigger issues.

Who is greasing PP's palm ?
This is the tragedy to wildlife that our disposable plastics cause, it's heartbreaking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wH878t78bw
