This isn’t an excuse and we need to do a whole lot better as a country. I just think blaming our increase of carbon output on transportation and not looking at per capita numbers gives the oilsands and other heavy industries a pass. I’d love to see more active/public transportation (and some EVs, but that’s an inefficient solution for the ~85% of Canadians living in urban areas).
