I would say it's in Walker Industries' interest to perpetuate the idea that a great percentage of recyclable material is recycled.
I don't think they are an objective source.
Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days. Edit: The tariff war has begun.

Trump on the USMCA. LOL

That and scroll down to the very bottom of the page. It's all about taxpayer funding.
Walker Industries and that journalist have their hands in the green cookie jar together.
Only 25 per cent of waste is properly recycled in Niagara, expert says
A lot of us do our due diligence in disposing of our garbage: trash in black bags, paper and plastic in blue boxes — and so on. However, at an […]

Its less than 10%. I wrote a whole thread on that
One more reason Trump's an idiot. He doesn't understand that putting tariffs on goods will lead to higher prices on goods for American citizens and result in higher inflation. Making life for his supporters (and everyone else) less affordable. Or, he knows exactly what will happen, which just makes him an asshole. I don't understand how anyone thinks what he's doing is a good idea.

You called my response a "useless excuse" rather than condemning name calling like I was doing.
In other words, you condoned it because in some strange way it jived with your narrative so you would rather let it slide than do the right thing or at least acknowledge it.
Did I get that right?
Did you think a government of billionaire oligarchs would be good for the common people?
I just paid a $325 tarriff for a $770 ergonomic office chair, which was 13% HST/GST + 25% tarriff. I made the order before the trade war started. Yeah, so you can guess how I feel about Trump right now. But that's small potatoes compared to the folks who are going to lose their jobs or livelihood over this stupid trade war - on both sides of the border.
Whatever policy wins Trump is aiming for, let's just give it to him so we can end this thing; but I have a feeling that at least some degree of tarrifs are here to stay for a long time.
No, you didn’t get it right at all.
I can be against both, but way to make an incorrect assumption and make false claims saying I said something I actually didn’t. Good job.
If your only argument is anecdotal info and attacking my sources (which you didn't even bother asking which sources I use) then it's no surprise that the environmental lunatics found in government and other interest groups have fooled you.
There are certain collective delusions all societies rely on to survive — little lies we all quietly agree to look past to make it through our everyday. In Ontario, for decades, one of those lies was this: that most of the plastic packaging you clean and separate every week, that travels from your blue box to your curb and into a waste collection truck, eventually gets turned into something new.

The United States, the world’s largest plastic polluter, recycles a mere 5% of its household plastic waste. Around the world, the situation is slightly better, but a staggering 91% of plastic waste is still incinerated, landfilled, or mismanaged (e.g. dumped into the ocean).

In Canada, for example, only nine per cent of plastic waste is recycled. Mountains of material collected in blue bins is piling up in landfills, being incinerated, or adding to the swirling islands of plastic flotsam that are choking oceans and killing wildlife. According to some experts, recycling is in crisis.

...and on and on...so run off now and make sure you sort your trash so you can feel good about yourself while more pollution is generated by putting on that sham.
Against both what?No, you didn’t get it right at all.

You either condone name calling or you don't.
She condones it when she does it, but when you do it to her she'll run to a mod

I agree it is over. I won.
You can cry all you want, it's not gonna change anything I said.
And when Trump is calling Justin "Governor Trudeau", you really seemed to enjoy it. You weren't calling Trump a loser.
Mitch, give me a laugh.
Perhaps, but people investigating the issue and speaking with industry have assessed the percentage and it's nowhere near 60%.
I know someone in that business and they have told me in simple terms...you know that empty peanut butter container? Well unless you thoroughly cleanse it to remove any and all residue, it can not be recycled.
So imagine all that plastic that is contaminated that most people just put in their recycling box. It just goes to landfill anyway.
Most people don't know that. They just feel they are fixing the planet by throwing things in their blue box.
Meanwhile if you think about it, how much pollution is generated by that program?
Think about the entire chain of things that are needed to process that garbage: trucks, truck manufacturers, truck parts manufacturers, part delivery companies, bin manufacturers, bin delivery trucks, etc etc.
...and also condones it when someone else does it to someone she may not agree with.She condones it when she she does it, but when you do it to her she'll run to a mod
At least she's consistent! Lol!
