    I am more or less neutral on most recycling. Separating metals is a good idea, glass pretty neutral (it’s basically a rock and expensive to crush and recycle - much better to reuse). Separating plastics is probably worse than useless.

    Separating organics, however, has immediate benefits. It’s so nice having trash that doesn’t stink to high heaven, and it almost eliminates the raccoon and rat problem. Municipal compost is one of the best public investments imo. Yes, it can be gross, but it concentrates the gross and makes it much simpler to deal with.

    Having us as one state - jamming Quebec, BC, Ontario, etc all together would be a recipe for disaster above and beyond all the other disasters involved. It would be like, I don’t know, merging New York and Georgia into one state.

    The FLQ alone would instantly revive and start up their bombing campaigns again.

    And be real, they would never give us status as states. We’d be Puerto Rico North at best until the violence died down in a century of terrorism and genocide.
