The problem is you need to define 'waste'. If the Canadian is producing 40 pounds of livestock manure that is tilled back into the soil as natural fertilizer and the Chinese citizen produces 1 pound of toxic heavy metal waste that is dumped into the ocean, then yes, the Canadian should be allowed to produce 40 times as much.
