No, they shouldn’t do nothing, but there’s no point straining people’s budgets to get to the “net zero after party” first when your a bit player (per capita is a pointless number to use if your goal is global reduction). “Yay, Canada is at net zero… wait, why is the world still burning?” We can make reasonable progress on a realistic global timetable without killing ourselves to do it.
If the China, India, Russia, etc aren’t at the party when Canada shows up, it’s accomplished nothing.
