Its worth noting that, if one accepts the numbers that we have been using for decades now, Canada is not even close to the vast majority of its peers when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions. A few quibbles here and there about those numbers is therefore almost certainly irrelevant to the simple fact that Canada is failing when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions.

Those are tiny countries. Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world and large truck and planes have to travel long distances to deliver people and goods. Going city to city in Canada involves long drives. There's never going to be a scenario where Canada could emit less GHG than those tiny European countries where they can just hop on trains to get around.
