We can fix this by passing proportional representation, voting out conservatives politicians, increasing the carbon tax to $300 per ton, ending the $18.6 billion oil industry and $2 billion animal agriculture receive in subsidies from the federal government, regulating industry further.
I would love to see PR implemented, but it's not a panacea. It might reduce the conservatives representation in parliament but the Liberals would still be a strong party under PR. The Liberals set most of the existing climate targets and policy, and they are insufficient because the Liberals are a neoliberal party. They are fundamentally opposed to short term economic loss as a political ideology. They won't invest in the sort of measures needed to mitigate climate change.
The voters would have stronger influence in the elections as they would be able to hold the politicians more accountable as they could vote for the other choices in the future without trashing their own vote.
Shitty website, completely ignores the effect of population and land mass.
If all countries were to follow Canada’s approach, warming could reach over 3°C and up to 4°C.
If all countries were following Canada's approach of having roughly 40M people spread across roughly 9.98M km² and emitted the same per capita that we do, we'd reduce global emissions by 77% (same population density of Canada emitting same per capita tons as Canadians).
It's pretty convenient that people like to ignore this though.
And instead, here is Canada importing people largely from lower emitting per-capits emitting countries so those people can emit more here.
