Understood.
But the "reusable bags" are just plastic bags, but worse. It's another item on the list of shallow environmental measures that don't actually help, but sound good to voters.
This one feels like a mini version of Germany phasing out Nuclear power to be "green" and replacing it with coal. I wouldn't be surprised if Canada now spends more energy creating grocery bags than before the ban.
