Say what? This is an election gambit? Really?

“The B.C. Conservatives have made embracing single-use plastics – including straws – part of the party's 2024 election platform.”

@hanspetermeyer pointed out to me by a friend - BC Cons are incredibly well funded, and have lots of organizational and polling help from CPC poli comms firms - this single plastic use stance may seem like a ridiculous distraction, but it must poll well - everything Rustad does is very calculated

@MatWright Pretty sure you’re right. But still. Are we so easily bought & sold? Will plastic straws & forks be what decides this election?
Meanwhile, BC Greens’ Furstenau talks about public transit & carbon tax & healthcare in what I consider meaningful ways.
ps. I have a couple of reusable straws & a drawer full of forks, so I *think* I’m immune to this clever politicking by Rustad & Co. (Will Eby flip-flop on straws & forks too?) #bcelxn2024 #bcpoli #plasticstraws #redherrings
