Yes indeed, shark fin soup for you. Judge tosses TO shark fin ban.

First the plastic bag ban was overturned, now shark fins are back maybe the City will get rid of the "no touch" rule too.
Well all would be fine with the plastic bag situation of Ford had had fought hard for the best interests of the people he represents (now and in the future) as opposed to the plastic industry...
That's said- I agree with the criticism of council for making decisions that won't stand up if challenged.
... I understand. Time to get loud and fight for a federal ban.
... Hmmm I wonder if the china trade deal would prevent my favourite Conservatives from doing something on the issue. (?)
How's that worked out so far?
Don't get me wrong, I'm totally against shark fin soup and I'm glad that some people care enough to take the time to get to know the issue and do little things like the website you posted (as poorly designed and woefully incomplete as it may be) - but that doesn't make it effective or effectual. Again, complaining in the cyberverse is all well and good, but it doesn't accomplish much in the real world. Just sayin'.
The bag ban was lunacy -- bad for the environment, and bad for the economy.
I still can't figure out how it ever passed.
True. But the guy who introduced the motion (Shiner) claims to be on the right.
Anything to get your name in the papers, I guess.
WTF! The world population of sharks has dropped by 90% in the last 40/50 years. In some fish the decline is ~99%. Since they are the top of the marine food chain that causes other problems. How about we tie your hands and feet and drop you overboard see how you make out?
You can't farm the top predator sharks as they are basically solitary animals and are too large. They don't school well.
Link please. Just kidding. I also heard that sharks need lots of open water so they can keep swimming. Otherwise, they sink to the bottom and drown.
Any facts to back up your rhetoric?
Try this on for size:
Beyond tracking, the only mistake the City made was not either getting the revenue or ensuring it was directed to specific programs.
But don't let the facts get in the way of your virulent anti-everything "left" arguments.
I think it is called Fugu or puffer fish, you need a license to prepare this sort of fish. I would think it is illegal in Canada.
Actually, more like way too many people in Toronto who have this extreme view that the well being of our ecosystem and keeping species from going to extinction trumps the ridiculous idea that putting shark fin inside our soup (as opposed to something else like... anything) is somehow a cool thing to do.
Even if you were in a small pool with a shark in it, you're more likely to drown than to actually be eaten by the shark. True fact.
