The Federal Liberal government is planning a ban on single-use plastics that make their way into landfills, waterways and oceans. The ban, being announced by both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, will take effect by the year 2021. No official list of banned products have yet been released, but it can be expected to copy Last year, at the G7 summit in Quebec, Canada and four other leading countries signed a charter pledging that by 2040 all plastic products produced in their countries will be reused, recycled or burned to produce energy. So far, that charter has been agreed to by 21 countries and dozens of companies.

First it was the Philippines and now Malaysia is the second Asian country calling out Canada and demanding that we take our garbage back. Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has even threatened to declare war on Canada! Malaysia meanwhile is planning to return upwards of 3,000 tonnes of contaminated waste, which was allegedly erroneously labeled as recyclable. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna says she is looking into potential wrongdoing by the private company and she blames the previous Conservative government. She also says our recycling industry is "amazing". What do you think? Libby explores Canada's practice of disposing of recyclables in this manner with Vito Buonsante, Plastics Program Manager at Environmental Defense.

Federal Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna is in Vancouver to attend the Clean Energy Ministerial, and to make a large announcement at the conference this afternoon.  The conference brings together leaders on clean energy from governments, the private sector and international organizations from 25+ countries, and will reinforce international collaboration on Canada's green energy future. A study from Clean Energy Canada found that Canada's clean-energy sector is growing faster than the economy as a whole, and that nearly 300,000 people are directly employed across the industry.

Justin Trudeau recently challenged "hateful online rhetoric" against politicians, citing reports that Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has received 11 death threats during her 3 years in office. Elsewhere, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna has met with Twitter executives in an effort to push the online platform to be more attentive about what is posted about politicians.

Transport Canada says new cars and small trucks will have to be equipped with rear-view camera systems starting in May 2018. The new regulations have been formally posted in the Canada Gazette for a 75-day comment period. The requirement for back-up visibility brings Canadian standards in line with those in the United States. The department says it's a safety measure because children, disabled persons, the elderly and others are vulnerable to back-up mishaps. It estimates that such accidents killed 27 people and injured more than 1,500 from 2004 to 2009. Are rear-view cameras making motorists lazy? Environment Minister Catherine McKenna was forced to step in late last night and overrule bureaucrats in her department who wanted to muzzle MPs, First Nations leaders and others invited to accompany her to next month's United Nations climate change conference. The twenty-second session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 22) will be held Nov. 7-18 in Marrakech, Morocco and invitations were sent out over McKenna's name to, among others, her official opposition critics, including Conservative Ed Fast. Sue-Ann Levy from the Toronto Sun joins the show to talk all things going on at City Hall.

The two-volume report, obtained by the Star ahead of its release, is called “One Vision One Voice: Changing the child welfare system to better serve African Canadians.” It demands that every aspect of child protection in Ontario be transformed by structures and practices that fight “anti-black racism.” A system that “undermines the stability of African Canadian families and can, in fact, destroy them” needs sweeping reforms, says a hard-hitting report on reducing the number of black kids in the care of children's aid.
