The Toronto Sun is part of Postmedia, an American-owned chain that exercises strong editorial control and is basically Fox North.
Canadian Civil Liberties Association seems legit, but the Canadian Constitution Foundation is part of the Koch Atlas network, slipping far-right American money into Canadian politics.
That doesn't mean that they're wrong, but what they say should be examined carefully for fish hooks.

Comment 90 percent of plastics are not recycled (Score 1) 82
Cold hard facts: if it's not a PET 1 or PET 2, it's not going to be recycled in North America, unless it's part of commercial or industrial recycling program.
Yes, they end up in the waterways, and don't "compost".
We can actually make replacements for plastics to actually biodegrade into food, and we can produce single use plastics that are recyclable, but that requires only using ONE type of plastic in a material, and having a recycling program run by commerce and industry.
Otherwise it's wishful thinking.

There are organic and inorganic replacements for many of those. Including sealants.
I'm not saying there's nothing that plastics might be a more optimal solution for, but those tend to be when it's a single plastic chemical string, usually something "permanent". Most plastics in use are for temporary things, and those are bad uses.
