I think they're only ballot box poison in western Canada, which is not going to vote for anything other than conservative MPs regardless.

Having grown up in Western Canada, no one does more whinging and complaining than Albertans. Every little thing, from taxes to masks, is a huge imposition. But the whinging is then rationalized as "defending freedom".



Plus the added irony of having to put all your recyclables in a specific type of single use plastic bag for collection.


The back of my house looks (and smells, in the summer) like a recycling center. The thing that really pisses me off is that after all that work it all ends lumped together more often than not, and the only thing that is really valuable (metals) is quite frequently lost because there is no separate way to collect them.

In my childhood days everything got recycled. Glass bottles, metals, paper, clothing, vegetable matter (skins, off-cuts) and so on. People made a living going door to door to collect them. Single use plastic was absolutely unheard of.
