So the headline is just absolute bollocks and means nothing when you start to interrogate it? Oh ok.

Do you expect a headline to tell you the whole story?

[chrisseaton]

Why not 'reduce use of single-use plastics'? Or 'ban some'? Really easy to make the headline more truthful.

Not really necessary. A reasonable person would take it exactly how it was intended: "Canada will ban all single use plastics (except where health or safety are at stake)." It's kind of, you know, implied.

Of course they're not going to require that hospitals re-use syringes and the like.
