Like it or not, we're a global community, and as a species we're all in this together. The "I'm just a Canadian living in Canada" line really doesn't hold much water.

People in China, India and Africa just want to be like North America and Europe when it comes to standard of living. And because of that fossil fuel use is not going to end quickly at all. It is projected to keep increasing until at least 2040.
If Canada can reduce global emissions by selling gas to the world to replace coal and less environmentally conscious producers how is that not a good thing?
