im not sure about how this is regulated in canada, but in the us we ask companies to report how much they leak then fine them for that amount without validation. the conflict of interest here is wild - does canada have a similar system?

We did mass immigration from low emission countries to boost consumption, BC just chose China to produce their new ferries which derives 60% of its energy from coal and has no industrial carbon tax, our largest city is still overwhelmingly zoned for urban sprawl as we subsidize EV for the rich instead of building high speed rail.

I’d say Canada overall doesnt care about emissions. There are countless examples of that.

This is the laziest troll of a take, lol. We are building high speed rail. We stopped our EV rebate (for now). Immigrants and China have nothing to do with the topic or the article.

We have plenty of carbon and methane emissions from oil and gas usage, which you could make an actual coherent argument out of, but instead you just wrote complete gibberish and contributed nothing to Lemmy.

Theyve announced the “planning” of a high speed rail in order to garner votes, which will somehow cost double what Europe spends. This is vaporware and you wont get a shovel in the ground.

The EV rebate is coming back:

Environment minister says consumer rebates for EVs will return

The federal government intends to bring back consumer rebates for electric vehicles but doesn’t yet quite know what they’ll look like, Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin said on Tuesday.

As far as mass immigration from low carbon countries to Canada I’m surprised you wouldnt assume that increases emissions, especially given we are importing them into a housing shortage caused by a lack of density and no existing high speed rail, so they will be required to commute long distances. Canadians per capita emissions are very very high.
