Giving sippy cups with soggy paper straws to toddlers is far more dangerous than even ‘philanthropist’ Michael Bloomberg’s blowing billions on deceitful Global Warming Scare Mongering
Time to ‘Save The Environment’--from Michael Bloomberg and friends!
Eureka! Ottawa’s Federal Court just overturned Soggy Paper Straw Sucker Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on his government’s hypocritical single-use plastic ban.
“The decision has essentially quashed a cabinet order that listed plastic manufactured items, such as plastic bags, straws, and takeout containers, as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.”
This welcome court decision, has, in effect, rendered the proverbial last straw against the gang-up of billionaire, virtue-signalling Michael Bloomberg and radical environmental organizations to rid the world of what they label—without proof of any kind—as “toxic” plastics.
What Bloomberg and Company are selling, has been hurtling our way ever since the WEF-supported Green New Deal was dropped on unsuspecting masses
The move to ‘Stop the Rapid Rise of Pollution from the Petrochemical Industry’ took birth with Michael Bloomberg’s launched $85 million campaign in the U.S.
Important to note that Michael R. Bloomberg is not just some generous, big-hearted billionaire trying to save the world from pollution, he’s the handpicked UN Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions.
What Bloomberg and Company are selling, has been hurtling our way ever since the WEF-supported Green New Deal was dropped on unsuspecting masses.
Environmental leaders who travel to attend environment conferences on private aircraft and ocean-going yachts, are not trying to save the world from pollution—but continuing their all-out, never-ending fight against the oil and gas industry, which they continue to demonize through a compliant mainstream and social media.
This is where they are really coming from:
“Beyond Petrochemicals will scale the work being done by frontline groups and aligned organizations who are leading the fight to end petrochemical pollution in these communities, including Beyond Plastics, the Bullard Center at Texas Southern University, Defend Our Health, Earthjustice, Earthworks, Hip Hop Caucus, Louisiana Bucket Brigade, and Rise St. James among others.” (Bloomberg Philanthropies Sept. 21, 2022)
‘Save The Environment’-from Michael Bloomberg and friends!
“As economic investments move away from fossil fuels for electricity generation and transportation, plastic production has emerged as the Plan B for the fossil fuel industry,” said Judith Enck, former US EPA Regional Administrator and President of Beyond Plastics. “Stopping the construction of petrochemical facilities will combat climate change, protect the health of people living near these plants, and turn off the tap of the billions of pounds of plastic that enter the ocean each year. This philanthropic commitment by Mike Bloomberg is extraordinary and will protect public health, particularly in communities of color.”(Bloomberg Philanthropies)“The petrochemical industry is also detrimental to public health, where nearby communities experience some of the highest rates of pollution-linked cancer and poor health outcomes. Research from the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University uncovered that the EPA underestimates risk of exposure to harmful air pollutants and that residents are frequently inundated with a complex and poorly understood mixture of health hazards.“We are only at the edge of understanding the true impacts of petrochemical pollution on public health – from cancer and birth defects to long-term chronic disease,” said Dr. Thomas A. Burke, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

“This initiative will provide valuable new data for measuring the toxic chemicals released into our air and water, and understanding their impacts on the health of both fenceline communities and the broader public.” (Bloomberg Philanthropies)“The oil and gas industry is betting on a petrochemical future that is incompatible with a liveable future for communities and a sustainable future for the planet,” said Carroll Muffett, President of the Center for International Environmental Law. “Going Beyond Petrochemicals demands a major and direct investment in the frontline leaders and organizations who are fighting for both, and in the research, litigation, and mobilization to turn frontline action into national transformation. We welcome Bloomberg Philanthropies commitment to making that essential investment.”“The petrochemical industry has been poisoning people in the Gulf South and Appalachia for generations,” said Abbie Dillen, President of Earthjustice. “Now in the face of clean energy competition, oil and gas companies are trying to stake their future profits in petrochemicals and plastics. Their massive expansion plans would devastate communities that are already hurting, all the while escalating the climate and plastics crises globally. In this enormous fight for the future, Earthjustice is honored to be working with an incredible group of leaders, including Bloomberg Philanthropies. This is the kind of transformative investment that we need to win.”
This is the latest spin on getting Global Warming/Climate Change on the top of the media reading stack
The federal court deemed the Canadian federal policy against single use plastic as “unreasonable and unconstitutional.”
In turning over the single-use plastic ban, the Ottawa court decision ruled that the classification of plastics in the cabinet order was too broad to be listed on the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 and the government acted outside of its authority.
“There is no reasonable apprehension that all listed Plastic Manufactured Items are harmful,” the decision read. (Global News, Nov. 17, 2023)
“Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said in a statement that the federal government is “strongly considering an appeal” of the decision.“Canadians have been loud and clear that they want action to keep plastic out of our environment,” he said. “We will have more to say on next steps soon.”
It wasn’t “Canadians that have been loud and clear that they want action to keep plastic out of our environment,” it’s the Liberal Canadian government that has.
“The decision has implications for the government’s ban on six single-use plastic items. The government is only able to regulate substances for environmental protection if they are listed as toxic under CEPA. (Global News)“The decision found that it was not reasonable to say all plastic manufactured items are harmful because the category is too broad.“The regulations banning plastic items are already being phased in, with a ban on manufacturing and importing six different categories already in place, and a full ban on their sale and export planned by the end of 2025.
The days of having to suck up drinks from soggy paper straws may be a thing of the past
“Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said in a statement that the decision “demonstrates a continued pattern of federal overreach intended to subvert the constitutionally protected role and rights of provinces,” and that the ban has had “wide-ranging consequences for Alberta’s economic interests.” She said the ban has put thousands of jobs and billions of investments at risk.(Global news)“Alberta is proudly home to Canada’s largest petrochemical sector, a sector with more than $18 billion in recently announced projects that were needlessly put in jeopardy by a virtue-signalling federal government with no respect for the division of powers outlined in the Canadian Constitution,” she said. She urges the federal government not to appeal the decision."“The case was initiated by the Responsible Plastics Use Coalition, a non-profit corporation representing companies in the plastic industry operating in Canada. Companies such as Dow Chemical, Imperial Oil, and Nova Chemicals, among others, contended that Ottawa did not adequately demonstrate sufficient scientific evidence to justify the proposed regulations.(Epoch Times, Nov. 16, 2023)“Bloomberg Philanthropies invests in 941 cities and 173 countries around the world to ensure better, longer lives for the greatest number of people”.(Bloomberg Philanthropies)
If you’d likely believe that “Bloomberg Philanthropies invests in 941 cities and 173 countries around the world to ensure better, longer lives for the greatest number of people”, you’d more than likely believe that Bill Gates has good will for humanity.
Meanwhile thanks to an Ottawa court, the days of having to suck up drinks from soggy paper straws may be a thing of the past.
Giving sippy cups with soggy paper straws to toddlers is far more dangerous than even ‘philanthropist’ Michael Bloomberg’s blowing billions on deceitful Global Warming Scare Mongering.
