Canada's CO2 contributions are significant, especially on a per capita basis. Don't forget that we should really be factoring in emissions being exported to foreign countries like China through proposals like Kinder Morgan.

Donald Trump or no Donald Trump, the world is already well underway to a transition to an economy based on renewable energy. In the US much of the work is being done at the state level, and carbon pricing is already common in many other countries, particularly across Europe.

The challenges in Ontario have gone from poor implementation(from poor leadership) and restrictions faced through trade law. The actual big picture was the right one. A few Green MPP's would have helped.

The problem with Trudeau's plan is the proposed carbon tax(for provinces without carbon pricing) is too low, and you can't be serious about reducing emissions while simultaneously building pipelines. He's trying to please everyone at the same time. This makes for ineffective climate policy.
