Single Use Plastic Prohibition Regulations ban six types of plastic products: polystyrene food containers, cutlery, stir sticks, straws, grocery bags and six-pack rings. Use of alternatives will cost consumers $205 million next year while administration expenses to date total $64.4 million, by official estimate.
The ban on single-use plastics was announced in 2019 and came into force in December.

The Prime Minister's announcement of the ban was comedy gold, with Trudeau being caught off guard when he was asked how his family reduces their plastic footprint.
What a terrible liar. So he and his family drink out of “a paper-like drink-box-water-bottle sort-of thing?” Can he show us what that looks like? Is there anything, no matter how small, that this sociopath won’t lie about? pic.twitter.com/IkGQnZpwfi

An analysis done by Canada Proud indicates that Canadians are not the sea turtle murderers Trudeau would have us believe. Less than one percent of Canada's plastics end up in the oceans.
Trudeau’s plastic ban is another fake gimmick. Less than 0.1% of Canada’s plastic ends up in the oceans.

A blanket plastic ban makes no sense. Pass this on so Canadians have the truth.

Disabilities groups have spoken out against the ban.
An Edmonton disabled activist who uses straws everyday raised alarms when she heard Canada announced a federal ban on single-use plastics. @sarahsinthenews finds out what kinds of straws will be banned and if the disability community needs to be concerned.#yeg #canpoli pic.twitter.com/YBFvKteb8Z
