How about the average Norwegian, Finnish, or Swedish citizen? Those countries produce 1/2, 1/2, and 1/3rd the emissions per capita that Canada does.
Yeah Canada is a bigger country, but even if Canada didn't emit a single gram of CO2 from transportation, we'd still be producing 50% more emissions than Norway and Finland and twice as much as Sweden per capita.
And that doesn't even get into the fact that we've outsourced a lot of our carbon intensive manufacturing to other countries. So when people look down their noses at countries like China and India maybe they should think where our products come from.
