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, 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:
China does matter when you’re fighting emissions, how would it not? They are the largest coal consumer in the world.
