More than likely carbon emissions world wide would increase because the countries who purchase what Canada/USA didn't consume would likely have lower emissions standards.
If Canada wanted to curb world consumption they would leave more of it in the ground.
Cutting emissions through research and implementing higher emission standards as the technology advances is something Canada can do. Less pollution is never a bad thing. But this idea of carbon rationing will only decrease Canadian wealth. It will solve nothing and lessen our ability to compete globally or respond to climate change in constructive ways.
