    “Canada has never reached any of its own climate targets,”

    Has any country?

    Not that it excuses Canada’s lackluster approach, but we’re far from the only slacker on this.

    We should be doing a lot better, but taking strong enough measures needed to signifigantly and quickly move the needle would guarantee any politician who did it would never get re-elected.
