    Yeah, that's unfortunate and surprising. My municipal government just put in place rules now to help decrease waste - garbage pickup is every two weeks now instead of every week and there's a limit on the size of garbage cans you can use now.

    Then why haven't they collected you yet? They really need to solve this issue. What is it? Your fat ass won't fit in the newer sized can?

    Meh. Last time I checked, most of the food waste was coming from retail stores and restaurants throwing out stuff that's still good instead of donating it to food banks or selling it at a discount.

    Blame capitalism, not Canadians. :clyde:

    To convert Canadian to regular, you divide by 2.2. :facts:

    Well yes, there are genetic differences in ethnic Chinese and your average Canadian. And given the higher average IQ among asians, there isn't really an excuse for being bigger polluters is there?

    I mean the Harris/Klein debate over Charles Murray's work isn't the tangent I thought we'd take but we can do it if you want.
