Plastic Factory

[Fisherman]

Surprising there hasn't been an uproar over this, plastic factory that makes the "forever" plastics, not good for anything.  Once it's in the system, you can't get rid of it.  Lets poison some more water bodies.  https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/forever-chemicals-plant-north-bay-1.6910158

The premier of Toronto must be making a buck off of it

How am I going to fry my eggs in the morning and stay dry while fishing on a rainy day ?

Environmental regulations are some of the most stringent on the.planet in this country...seems like they're following all the rules.  People, especially in our smaller population centres, do need good jobs.

Also, considering some of the sources of this report (CBC and The Walrus), there's definitely a political agenda at play.

 But  the plant is net zero emissions, they planted some trees and pays their share of the carbon taxes, paying a carbon tax is going to save the world 

oh and the budget will balance itself

Well there's always those "accidental spills" and things that get swept down the sewer which goes...into the waterways.

and it beats the chromium plant they want to build here.

Would be nice if they built it downtown Toronto

You are right to be concerned about the proposed plastic factory in North Bay, Ontario. The factory would produce PFAS, or "forever chemicals," which are a class of synthetic chemicals that are known to be harmful to human health and the environment. PFAS can accumulate in the body over time and have been linked to a number of health problems, including cancer, thyroid disease, and decreased fertility. They can also contaminate water supplies and harm wildlife.

Real estate is a little too pricey for factories in downtown Toronto.
