Also, which government(s) are you upset with here? Federal/provincial/Canada/USA/UK?
Also, it sounds like you think Canada's contributions to global carbon emissions are a problem. Am I reading this right?

I think there is absolutely an agenda by the government to restrict oil & gas development. This includes the American government, who at this point might really like having Keystone built and flowing, but alas...can't be seen doing that.
As for the rest of whatever you're babbling on about, its not hard to understand why I would think it is important to properly manage our wood resources and how it contributes to our economy, the economy in North America (we export a lot of wood products), and the world market in general, including when it comes to emissions. I think burning wood pellets for energy is not serving the overall purpose of developing wood based solutions to combat things like emissions from concrete production.
On its own, burning wood pellets is likely a non-issue. But when you start thinking that perhaps the focus should be on getting more value out of wood waste or wood in general it starts making sense. Simple, really.
Of course you can't move past 'but Canada really matters when it comes to overall world emissions right, right.'
