BC is expensive, but at least they act on stuff.

Keep up the good fight, BC gov! Hopefully we will start banning even more down here. We have a short list, but there are thousands of short and long chain PFAS out there.

These aren't even the most dangerous chemicals in there! Dihydrogen monoxide kills millions every year, but they'll never ban it from the tap water.

Why waste time deleting thier comments when their entire account is just worthless rants.
Also can you remove TruckBC as a mod it's pretty clear they don't plan to be back on the platform anytime soon.
