Watching this shit unfold from outside Canada is stunning.

I understand not all nations have the same political culture.

But in France, everyone is aware that we consume far too much plastic and it’s seriously harming both our health and environment. Claiming you support plastic packaging is political suicide.

Bamboo straws I like as well.

Like… I get that paper straws kind of suck. But my god. We’re a week away from the election and this is what he’s talking about. These people are so childish. It feels like he’s running for class president instead of PM.
