He's clearly talking about himself, not everybody.

If the companies had to pay per bottle, do you really think they'd still be using single use packaging like that?

They'd install refill stations in stores and sell you a reusable bottle that you can fill up from their metered tap at the refill station.

Companies created the problem of single use packaging; the onus is not on individuals to solve a problem created by companies.

What an elaborate setup for such a lame pun.

Just another Christmas story with terrible morals. They're surprisingly common.

It's bots all the way down.

Am I a bot?

There are a lot of reasons to shit on the beef and dairy cartels in Canada, and they have definitely captured the market with regulation, but I don't believe this is an example of that. I think this is a good safety regulation that actually is in the interest of average Canadians for once.

but the reality is that virtually all homes in Canada have occupants.

Vancouver and Toronto are currently sitting about 7% and 7.4% homes that are empty or not for usual residents. That's a fucking massive number, imo.

Uh, what? Are you defending companies stealing gift card money from people because it's a "weird account on the books"?

For any Canadians reading this, adding hormones or steroids to meat and dairy animals has always been prohibited here for all types of livestock.

Antibiotics are allowed on sick cows and pigs but they can't be used for dairy or meat until they've been off the antibiotics for a period of time that is supposed to be long enough to flush it from their system. Chickens are too short lived and antibiotics are prohibited if they are to be sold for human consumption.

You know how A&W advertises that their beef is free of added hormones and steroids? Well that's actually true for all meat sold in Canada. A&W is just the only one advertising it. Pretty clever as campaign, actually.

If you are against violence and refuse to use it, sooner or later someone will use violence against you, and you will lose because you refuse to fight back.

What is your principle worth when you've been beaten to a bloody pulp?

This is what the paradox of tolerance addresses.

No, not everything is brassica.

But everything that isn't brassica is cucurbita.
