Let us celebrate the working conditions of bauxite miners/workers worldwide and loss of bottling jobs on the Island not to mention the additional costs to the environment so we can have what mainlanders have!
The real celebration should be over the end of the 1.5 litre glass bottle. Anyone who ever had to handle bulk quantities of those things or the breakage of even one of them will be happy. Another tidbit is that aluminum can recycling is the only product that actually pays for itself (it is cheaper to recycle a can than to mine more aluminum). Still you can’t argue with the loss of jobs and the fun that it was poking a (albeit tiny) finger in the eye of the big corporations.
Speaking of protests how about protesting the Jim Carter honorary degree from UPEI. He is a senior manager at Syncrude, the former COO. Why HONOUR someone involved in that insane industry which is killing ducks, trees, people, etc. Tibet is a worthy cause but why not also look at disastrous political decisions a little closer to home…
Why honor Jim Carter? Check UPEI’s donations over the past few years for a hint. (I haven’t, in this case, but previous “honorees” had been major donors). Not that there’s anything necessarily wrong with that, but it’s rarely spoken of.
I thought it was the “Keep The Island Different Rally” but that could be the next street over as I can’t even recognize the location of the photo given the madness of high-rise office developments (ie more stories than almost fingers on one hand) that appears to be well underway.
