This show is a great example of how Canadian politeness gets in the way of responsible journalism. Listen to me have a perfectly civil conversation with a guy from the petrochemical industry that only gets testy once or twice. Never addressed in the show is how polyethylene is used as unnecessary filler to stretch harder plastics that make things other than disposable bags and how the discredited idea that petrochemical production is insensitive to markets and does not respond to the laws of supply and demand.

We begin with Kenneth James, of West Coast Olefins, move on to Art Vanden Berg and finish up with Susanne Weber before closing with Tom Ewasiuk of Los Altos Institute who joined me to help promote an exciting new project I’m rolling out next year.
