I find it comical where their priorities are; Doug goes and expeditiously mandates the LCBO to bring back paper bags but meanwhile he'll drag his feet on various housing issues which have been plaguing the province for years (ie: the never ending backlog in the LTB, OLT backlogs, lack of enforcement with the RHEU, etc, etc).Interesting argument.
So you believe government's capacity to address issues is linear with no ability to address multiple items at the same time? Personally, I'm a huge fan of the paper bag thing. I rarely have my reusable bag for the LCBO with me since I often grab LCBO when I'm out but not planning for it. The result is I have to buy a reusable bag that is made with plastics over and over, negating the actual effect/benefit of using reusable bags and being much worse for the environment. Where feasible, I wait to get a bag or just carry what I buy, but that isn't always viable. And I'm just one person. Seems like a reasonable change to me.
The government is more than capable of addressing multiple issues at the same time, the problem is that our idiot premier will snap his fingers at something he wants done quickly, while playing games when it comes to issues that really matter. Not to say that other politicians in this province/country are immune to that same stupidity, but this move here is just blatantly laughable especially when he does it for the sake of "affordability".
I would say that the province should look into mandating elevator minimums and actual livable spaces but....
