During the April 19-20 London Commonwealth Conference, attended by 53 nations, wide-ranging solutions were passed in regards to the banning of plastics of all sorts. One of them the banning of drinking straws. The Right Honourable Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, know as well under the name of Mr. Dress-Up, sidestepped the adoption of the solution. Since the world is chocking on plastics, which unless recycled will be around another 500 to 1,000 years, we may like to remind him to do our part by mailing him a single drinking straw in a plain envelope. Addressed it to: The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A2 Please mark the envelope with: ‘The last straw’ and your return address. No postage is necessary. Uwe-Karsten Krickhahn Medicine Hat 14
