Canadian here. We get a lot of credit for our vast forest land, but forests don’t reduce carbon emission. So at the end of the day, you’ve got this huge country of nearly 40 million people who have to drive to travel our vast landspace and yeah, we’re insanely net negative.
Source on where Canadian emissions come from. The big problem with emissions is there’s no 80/20 rule, and every sector pollutes their part of the pie.

Also Canadian, I honestly find it really weird when people cite Canada’s forests as an “upside” to our carbon output. We didn’t make the forests so why should we get any credit? In fact, we’re in the process of destroying them.
I wonder how they measure this. Because I know Canada gets most of its energy from hydropower, but they export a lot of fossil fuels.

It’s worth noting that Canada’s biggest contribution to the problem doesn’t come from internal fossil fuel usage, but rather from its oil exports.
