Reply to comment by hackulator in Manufacturing, importing straws and other single-use plastics now banned in Canada by CobaltEmu

Utter nonsense. By that logic an ICE car sales ban would do nothing to reduce emissions. Never mind that the end-user purchase ban comes in next year, and you've completely skipped over the ban being introduced today, which is a domestic manufacturing and import ban. You know, one aimed at the companies producing the products? "Placing the onus on corporations?"

And see here is the thing: that ban WOULD do almost nothing, because there are single container ships which produce more emissions than an entire country worth of cars.

Here's one for you: 75% of transport emissions come from road vehicles:

I know it's illegal to admit you're wrong on the Internet, but maybe if someone points out you're wrong, just pulling shit out of your ass isn't the best way to take in that information.

Not that any of this changes the point that you skipped over this ban being aimed at corporations first and misrepresented it as something that exclusively targets consumers. That was the actual point being addressed.
