China and the US produce 41% of the worlds co2 emissions while canada produces under 2% total. If we're focusing on reducing co2 emissions we should focus on where the problem really lies.
A quarter of the worlds co2 can be reduced by finding an alternate way to power and heat the worlds homes Deforestation and agriculture account for another 19% of the worlds co2. So start there.
Raising gas prices by a lot may reduce transportation emissions as people are more likely to catch the bus or train to work reducing the amount of cars sitting in traffic.
If co2 reduction really is the issue then focus on the real problem.
