No, because they don't care. They want all but 50 million of us world-wide to die. Period. They do not care. They don't care about the earth. They just want all the stuff and to have no one to have to share it with.

LOL! YEP!......................
And I almost forgot to specifically mention that when carrying groceries home, plastic bags are nearly weightless, whereas cloth bag weigh quite a bit. And every ounce does count.
If I had to guess I would say no consideration was none on the health benefits of using disposal utensils and bags.
I will predict if they go ahead with this there will be an increase in commutable diseases.
Man made climate change is a hoax, and Canada is mostly empty space where safe land fields can be created without harming the environment. This is nothing more then someone with power showing they can do anything they want.
The small plastic bags have morphed into large plastic shopping bags that are increasing and multiplying in my closet. I hate them!!!!
CA pitched this same thing. No more bags, and the replacement “bag” would cost money at the grocery store and proceeds would go to environmental causes. In the end, they banned the single use bags, replaced them with the same plastic bag, only 100 times thicker, charged customers 10cents for each one, and the grocery keeps the money. SCAM all the way.
How does Canada and the US influence what China and India is throwing i to the ocean?
Get real. Who cares about a swirling eddy of waste in the ocean, anyway? It breaks down, over time.
According to the Audubon Society, the largest plastics polluters are: China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam
So they increase their use of paper products then. Back to paper bags?
“We can do better.”
Yes we can.
Let us start by doing some math.
Canada has a population of 38 million people.
China has a population of 1.4 billion people.
Canada’s pollution is a rounding error compared to China’s pollution.
These regulations will not save the planet but they will make the oligarchs who rule Canada feel so very good about themselves.
I used a shopping caddy when I lived in the UK. Have you tried one?
easy to explain. Feel-good’ers never think things through. How about having an EV vehicle infrastructure coming on line before bankrupting the world economy based on the ICE?
How about addressing all the negatives and positives of re-using bags, before just banning them? But it makes them feel oh so virtuous.
We deserve the disasters our masters dish out. Since we nod our heads, tug our forelocks and say Yes Sir! I’m looking at you, the mass media. You are like unquestioning docile children reporting the wondrous words of the great nabobs
Idiots. Plastics are a great carbon sink....hold carbon for thousands of years.
Most ocean plastics (99%) come from SE Asia who dump garbage in rivers.
99.9% of plastics in US and Canada end up in a landfill.
Yes, so far I’ve never seen it come up in the public discussions what they expect people to do that don’t have cars, and the hardship it will put on them. Just having to make an unexpected trip to a grocery or drug store, and buying a few items, becomes impractical.
I have seen discussions in the news about subjects such as people remembering to keep their reuseable bags in their cars, without any seeming awareness that many people don’t have one (and they don’t want people having cars!)
I have used them, if I know what you mean by “shopping caddy”. I’ve had a small wheeled cart with a very large cloth bag. I would also take a backpack and a smaller shoulder bag with me. But just throwing things in there doesn’t distribute the weight well, and things would move around, not be kept separate, some packages might poke holes in others, some sweat or leak which ruins other packages. They fill up fast, too, especially when you buy some beverages.
I remember when California passed a law a few years back requiring food handlers, including bartenders and food prep people in restaurants, to wear latex gloves. These were meant to be discarded right after the food was handled.
Environmentalists went nuts as they considered all the discarded waste that would soon fill up the rivers, lakes and oceans. They got the law rescinded.
Sometimes in life, you just have to take health risks. We can’t all live in bubbles.
How long before they have people washing and re-using condoms?
Does this apply to condoms?
How about insulin (I mean meth) syringes?
