So ban diesel pickups if you are that concerned about Nox. And if you are actually concerned, ban mods and fine them heavily, because they emit far more. Even "clean diesels' emit far more Nox than a mower.

I’m with you on severe penalties for emissions violaters and I’m on team get rid of trucks and clown campers but that won’t fly.
One thing with Nox regulations is that they look at economically viable alternatives. There are use cases for Diesel engines that currently aren’t substitutable and some of the tech is slowly becoming more economic. This is why they do fleet based Nox criteria a cross different categories and are slowly lower emissions standards across the fleet and individual categories within fleets.
So they are lowering emissions.
Lawn mowers and leaf blowers have economic substitutions at least at the non-acreage sized lots we find in cities. Therefore based on the philosophy of how Nox is managed at the industrial level in Canada we should no longer sell gas powered garden equipment.
