Just because people have a hard grasp at trying to understand analogies and looking at it at face value. It doesn't matter if Canada does or doesn't have child labours, there's still hundreds of millions of them out there. It doesn't matter if Canada does or doesn't reduce emissions, there's still hundreds of tons being produced. On a global scale, nothing Canada does matters - following that ####ty mindset.
The point is simple, if you're not making policies that are good simply because other countries aren't, you're a pretty ####ty country. I hope Canada is a leader, whether it's environmental, humanitarian or other policies that would make it and/or the world a better place.
And how do you think we can get any sort of pressure on those high, dirty producers if we're not doing anything ourselves? Are you just conceding that the world will be near uninhabitable for many countries in a 100 years and do nothing? Great attitude to have.
