Leave the toilet paper alone. If some do-gooder gonna tell me I gotta use that cheap kind that your figures poke through I'm going wipe their face with it.

What bull sh#t.
The Leftist Agenda 21 and their Global Totalitarian Government wet dream is relentless.
We Patriots must be just as relentless and more to defeat these clowns.

The surest way to trigger CW2 is to take away my two-ply Charmin.
Just...DON’T.

This is b.s. They have massive crops of trees that they manage in northern Ontario. The boreal forest in Canada is massive.

You notice at no point do they actually SAY that even a pound of Canadian "Virgin Pulp" goes into American toilet paper.
This is the usual "something from nothing".
BTW as someone who raises hardwood as a "cash crop" the only parts of a hardwood that ends up pulped are the scraps that are good for nothing else.

Total Bullsh!t! Specific trees are farmed in various locales around the World for the purpose of feeding the industry making toilet tissue, and the like.
Easy enough to find in a search.

Climate change does have one advantage: whenever I see that term I instantly know I’m reading enemy propaganda. Could not be more obvious then if they were wearing Soviet uniforms.

Obviously there’s a problem when people in Canada outnumber trees...

Nonsense.
Have you ever tried to wipe with the toilet paper sold in Mexico? I bought some one time because it was on sale at the store. Only did it once, would just as soon use it for sandpaper.
I’m not really selective, but there is a limit.

Trees are renewable resources.
Hope they aren’t planning on going back to the one finger wipes.

Wood is renewable. Plant more trees.
To: blueplum
If Canada is not managing its forests for sustainability, that’s its problem. Trees are an easily renewable resource. Duh.
Messing with my Charmin could send me over the edge.

Maybe that why in Mexico they don’t flush their toilet paper.
