Make sure you don't compare orange or apple. In most European countries, people use far less than cars than North America as they work and live in smaller areas. So it's much easier for them to use motocycles, bicycles and public transit. Canada is a vast country, larger than the entire EU, with small population spread across the continent, so people have to rely on cars and planes. And also use more energy to heat their homes and offices. What can you do about this, tear down the country and rebuild? Implemeting Kyoto without sign-on by US, China and India, will improverish the nation, and cause significant inconvenient in people's lives. It's much easier to shout slogans than thinking about the consequence of the action. Don't think PM is a fool!
