According to this Wiki article, 42 per cent of Canada is forested, accounting for a full 10 per cent of the world's forested land.

Canada is roughly 9.985 million square km, or 2.466 billion acres, meaning Canada has roughly 1.035 billion acres of forested land.

That means Canada's forests absorb roughly 14.2 billion tonnes of CO2 per year.

According to the Environment and Climate Change Canada page, Canada emits a total of 722 million tonnes of CO2.

So, we're roughly 100% to the good...

Wouldn't that be around 2000% to the good?
