Canada’s single-use plastics ban a ‘first step’ in waste reduction. What’s next?

By the end of 2022, Canadian companies will no longer be able to import or make plastic bags, cutlery, takeout containers, ring carriers, stir sticks and straws, barring a few targeted exceptions to recognize specific cases.

The deadline was announced by the federal government on Monday in what Anthony Merante called “very good news” for the environment.

“A plastic bag, a plastic fork, a single-use straw … it only takes one of those plastic items to encounter wildlife … to make that a lethal encounter for them,” said Merante, a plastics campaigner for Oceana Canada.

Redder Pastures

Over the past two years, I have written several articles on issues that (I believe) take Canada in the direction of being a more authoritarian State. The sources for these issues are diverse, from government policy and announcements of policy intentions to public statements by members of the punditocracy / commentariat to widespread public support for certain ideas. In all frankness, I am not the only one who senses this direction of movement (or is it drift?). But I think that enough pieces are now in place for us to take a step back and take a holistic view of what this movement / drift portends for us as a society.

Biden administration may change ‘Hispanic’ from an ethnicity into a race — even though Hispanics are descended from different races

The Biden administration is considering reclassifying Hispanics as a race rather than an ethnicity, even though Hispanics are not, in fact, a distinct race — they can be primarily white, indigenous, or black in ancestry, notes law professor David Bernstein. Most Hispanics are descended partly from Europeans, and descended partly from the native people of the Americas — not from a single race.

No Free Speech On Campus? No Federal Funding, Poilievre Pledges

Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre says as prime minister he would appoint a “free speech guardian” to protect Charter rights on campus and revoke federal funding from postsecondary institutions that don’t uphold free speech.

“Universities are supposed to be places where ideas are openly discussed and challenged, but they have become places where gatekeepers and a loud minority silence students and faculty,” a statement from Poilievre’s campaign says.

Down And Out-For-The-Count: Pictures Of Drug Addicts Passed Out All Over Portland Show How Its Decriminalization Program Has Backfired – With Officials Now Proposing Japanese-Style ‘Coffin Homes’ For The Destitute

Portland’s open-air drug market is laid bare as people smoke heroin on the streets and needles litter the sidewalks as city officials start homeless sweeps while a nearby city’s mayoral candidate ‘wants to round them up and use ‘Japanese-style pods’ to house them.

New photos taken by DailyMail.com show the current situation in Portland, a city that has been plagued with homelessness and addicts openly using drugs in broad daylight. Users were seen injecting themselves, slumping over in a semi-comatose state.

Discarded needles, human waste and the smell of urine adds another layer of tarnish to city’s progressive policies – one of them being the Ballot Measure 110 decision, which has decriminalized hard drugs in the Democrat-run state.

PRIDE MONTH: Here’s How the Navy Is Training Sailors on Proper Gender Pronouns

The video is the latest bid by the military to foster a more sensitive environment for its members and staff. The Army mandates similar gender identity training and trains officers on when to offer subordinates gender-transition surgery, the Washington Free Beacon reported in March. These programs are part of a larger push by the Biden administration to make the military more welcoming to transgender individuals.

Hollywood’s race-hustlers promote two wrongs making a right

When I was growing up, I distinctly remember my mother telling me that two wrongs don’t make a right. Just because my friends managed to get an “A” in chemistry because they cheated on the test didn’t make it right for me to do the same. Cheating is still cheating. Likewise, just because someone was mean to me because I was Jewish did not make it appropriate for me to be mean to that person because he was not Jewish. But in today’s Hollywood, when it comes to hiring, the new mantra is that active racial discrimination is the only way to go.

A mob threatening women is not a ‘protest’ – and police in Bristol should have known that

A mob threatening women is not a ‘protest’ – and police in Bristol should have known that

Back in the noughties, before Police and Crime Commissioners existed, I was the senior Home Office official in South West England holding Chief Constables to account on behalf of the Home Secretary.

My patch included Avon and Somerset, where I had many entertaining conversations with the then Chief Constable Colin Port about the vagaries of central government targets. Nonetheless, unlike his current successor, Colin understood the centrality of one of those targets – public confidence.

How the elites exploit inflation

The working classes needed to be put in their place

I can’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu at the current debate about global inflation. The similarities between today’s spiralling situation and the inflationary crisis of the Seventies are too striking to be ignored.

Nearly 50 years ago, the oil crisis of 1973 sent inflation skyrocketing across Western countries. It was a textbook case of imported inflation, which in a context of close-to-full employment and strong union bargaining power triggered self-reinforcing inflationary pressures, as companies raised prices to defend profit margins while workers in turn demanded wage increases. This price-wage (or wage-price) spiral was a response to the inflationary pressures coming from abroad — not their cause.

Fantasies and Infant Formula: The people who can’t deliver on baby formula think they know what gender is right for your child.

June is “Pride Month.” It’s also the month in which many Americans woke up to the fact that the nation was running out of baby formula. Distressed mothers couldn’t find any on the supermarket shelves or on Amazon’s site.

When you’re looking for a garden tool and all you can find is a sign that says “this product is currently unavailable,” it’s an inconvenience, but if you’re looking for baby formula and your own supply is about to run out, it’s an emergency.

Joe Biden’s Energy Jihad

It is imposing costs a lot more nightmarish than those being felt at the pump.

On September 6, 2019, at a New Hampshire campaign stop, candidate Joe Biden took questions from the audience. That was when a 24-year-old environmental activist asked him, “How can we trust that you’re going to act on climate change — on the climate crisis — if you’re still attending fundraisers that fossil fuel executives are attending?”

The candidate approached the questioner and took her hand.

“Kiddo,” Biden replied, “I want you to just take a look, I want you to look into my eyes. I guarantee you, I guarantee you, we are going to end fossil fuel and I am not going to cooperate with them.”
