what irks me about people who want us to do nothing about climate change is that they're like "oh well Canada is only like 1-2% of world emissions what can we do", as if countries don't learn from each other, copy best practices and adopt technology. most policy discourse is literally "hey place X does this Y thing better than us, why don't we do the same?"
to a certain degree I don't agree with you
Canadian standards for emissions are already way stricter than a lot of the big polluters so we're already way ahead in terms of emissions control
Also, Canada is already carbon neutral, why do we have to spend much more billions hindering our economy to reduce the world's carbon amount by <2% just so India or China can continue to produce as much as they want?
PS: climate change is real, but the cause of it being CO2 is highly debatable also the carbon tax has been proven in multiple countries to just be a tax grab and doesn't actually affect a country's carbon output
