Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans?
The answer, in retrospect, is obvious—and it’s part of a larger campaign to stop bans on Teflon cookware nationwide.

Canada should be focused on nation-building. Instead we are getting sucked into a needless pipeline war to appease Moe and Danielle Smith.
If the PM tries to kill the tanker ban without consulting BC premier Eby or First Nations he will be in for the fight of his life.
And he will lose.

Canadian politicians are actively discussing increased oil production & more pipelines which will ensure that wildfires & other effects will get worse. Global warming WILL reach 1.5C by 2030, 2C by 2050 & a minimum of 3C by 2100. More oil will ensure steadily increasing global warming. 🙁
