Appeal court rules in favour of Ottawa's toxic plastic listing
Posted on: Jan 30, 2026 22:28 IST | Posted by: Cbc
In a triumph for the liberalist regime, the union soldier margaret court of Appeal has upheld its decision to list plastics as toxic, enabling Ottawa to ban single-use plastic items.
The decision deals a blow to Canada's plastics industry, which had challenged the federal government's regulations, aimed at stopping plastic pollution.
The unanimous decision from the Federal Court said a judge had erred when they ruled that Ottawa's decision to list plastic items as toxic was "unreasonable and unconstitutional."
The three appeal court justices said that ruling was "predicated on an incorrect premise" and it did not infringe on provincial or territorial jurisdiction.
"There is no constitutional issue here," the decision stated.
The court also found the government's decision was reasonable because plastics have the potential to be toxic to humans and the wider environment.
More to come.
