Ottawa, ON
Mere days before Canadian Conservative leader Andrew Scheer is expected to announce his party's 2019 environmental election platform, details are slowly leaking out.
According to former member of parliament Stephen Woodworth (Kitchener Centre), who is once again seeking election this fall, Scheer will announce that, if elected in October, a Conservative government would ban single-use condoms by 2021.
"Not only will this benefit the environment," said Woodworth, "it also caters to the social conservatives like myself within our party."
Andrew Scheer, a social conservative and practicing Catholic, reportedly sent a memo to MP's on Wednesday stating that "banning single-use condoms will indeed emphasize the beliefs held by myself and many within our party - that birth control is unethical and goes against the truth that sexual activity is solely meant for the purposes of pro-creation."
In a rather surprising counter-move, Scheer promised to cancel Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's plan to ban single-use plastics by 2021, saying in the internal memo that "Saran Wrap can help out a lot of Canadian couples if for some reason they need to prevent pregnancy."
