More direct form of the earlier example I provided:

Again, the point being that Canada
can directly affect what happens in other countries/areas, and we shouldn't just be looking at what we're doing for our own domestic emissions. As a net energy exporter, it is entirely possible that Canada's emissions could go up but global emissions decrease as a result. That shouldn't preclude us from developing our resources.
I've said it before in this thread, but it's apparent to everybody that the global demand will be there for these products for the foreseeable future. It's just a matter of if Canada wants to step up and take that market share with its ethically produced, strictly regulated products and use those proceeds to make life better for Canadians and even help transition to a low carbon economy. If not, the likes of Russia, Qatar, etc. will gladly be there to fill the gaps.
