Globe says RBI's lids used by Tim Hortons called "woke"

2024-05-15 07:50 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Lianne Rood is outraged. The Globe's Marsha Lederman writes that the Ontario Conservative MP posted a video last week on social media, decrying the material used to make her Tim Hortons coffee-cup lid. "I'm done with Tim Hortons until they stop trying to push these woke paper lids that dissolve in your mouth," she declares in the video. Ms. Rood would do well to watch the new Canadian documentary Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics. If she thinks coffee lids made from fibre are gross, wait until she gets a load of this movie. Plastic People documents how plastic is not just contaminating the planet, but our bodies. It is present in the food chain and shows up inside us -- including in placenta and breast milk samples. "Without a doubt," scientists at the Rochester Institute of Technology say in the film, everybody has microplastics in their body. "And once these tiny particles are in our bodies, they are oozing their toxic ingredients on a minute-by-minute basis." Reducing its use to improve human life will affect our way of life, and everyday sacrifices will need to be made. This is something that is really deserving of our politicians' anger.
