about time the plastic bag ban fight heated up
First the Ontario Convenience Stores Association threatened to take the city to court over a looming plastic bag ban they say was adopted without proper thought or consultation,[url=http://www.oakleysunglasses-outletcheap@#$%&/]oakley m frame[/url].
Now the Canadian Plastics Industry Association (CPIA) has jumped on the bandwagon claiming the bag ban that is scheduled to come into effect on Jan. 1 of next year is and could be undone in court. Having made a deal with his grocery chain magnate friends,[url=http://www.sac-longchamps.fr/]longchamp sac[/url], he decided charging every resident five cents to obtain a plastic bag to house their goods would be a step forward in the city efforts to reduce waste.
The King of Climate Change should be very proud of his plastic bag legacy. It was a major step forward alright for the coffers of the grocery and drug store chains,[url=http://www.hollister-abercrombie.fr/]hollister france[/url], that continue to charge the six cents (with HST) even though the fee was rescinded on July 1.
Which brings me to Councillor David Shiner loopy plastic bag prohibition approved without any thought or warning in mid June and the council vote this week to reopen the ban with a view to either rescinding it or reconsidering it,[url=http://www.beatsbydrdre-headphones.in.net/]beatsbydre[/url].
It shouldn surprise me that the leftists were only too eager to vote to control our bag behaviour back in June,[url=http://www.canadagooseoutlet-jackets@#$%&/]canadian goose[/url]. Shiner motion was as irresistable as offering them an election sign team full of unionized CUPE workers,[url=http://www.polo-ralphlauren-pascher.fr/]@#$%& soldes[/url].
Still,[url=http://www.sacvanessabruno.fr/]sac vanessa bruno en solde[/url], I don know what the over the hill councillor was thinking when he moved the ban other than being desperately starved for a little media attention.
He certainly wasn thinking of the ramifications of a ban on those who make their living from plastic bags or those who rely on plastic bags at point of purchase let alone inviting a possible legal challenge,[url=http://www.louisvuittonoutlet-online.us/]louis @#$%& outlet store[/url].
Did he bother to think what we would use instead to line our green bins or to contain garbage in our gray bins or to pick up our dog poop?
Did Shiner think about what should happen to retailers like Shoppers Drug Mart or Loblaws or Metro or Winners who been too darn cheap up to now to provide a paper alternative when the plastic bag ban comes in?
OK,[url=http://www.monclerjackets-outlet@#$%&/]moncler jackets[/url], OK. Deep thinking is not the forte of most of those who warm council seats,[url=http://www.ghd-hairstraighteners.co.uk/]ghd[/url], Shiner included.
Gord His Perks, who grows more ornery by the day,[url=http://www.toms-outlets.us/]tom shoes[/url], told my colleague Don Peat last week that he going to what it takes to ban bags.
His Fellow Fruitcake in Crime, Shelley Carroll,[url=http://www.chiflatiron.in.net/]chi flat irons[/url], wrote an e mail to her council colleagues Monday indicating she can support the motion to re open the bag ban because it is too broad but if refined, she would be to a motion to re open expressly for the purpose of changing the date of implementation. can resist. Too bad there no motion before council this week banning Old Bags and Those Who Allow Their Anti Ford Baggage to colour their decision making.
But if a confidential report from City Solicitor Anna Kinastowski on the legal ramifications of proceeding with the prohibition (contained in the council agenda) doesn rouse them out of their Social Engineering Euphoria, then they deserve to have their butts hauled into court.
I been wondering all summer when some of those directly impacted by the ban would fight back,[url=http://www.outletonline-michaelkors@#$%&/]mk handbags outlet clearance[/url]. I glad they have.
Councillor Denzil Minnan Wong,[url=http://www.cheap-michaelkors.us@#$%&/]michael kors backpack[/url], who seconded the motion put forward by his colleague Peter Milczyn, said it wasn council hour when they voted for the bag ban back in June.
made a hasty decision without any information in front of us,[url=http://www.toryburchoutletshoese@#$%&/]tory burch miller sandal[/url], he said. didn hear from the public on something that would affect them. said it is likely their decision will be undone in the courts if council doesn do it themselves this week pointing out that would mean more taxpayers money on a court case they may not win.
