Like I said, it depends where you are.
I work for a fairly big company and 80% of us (according to company stats) bike or take transit to work. it also has a strong recycling/carbon reduction programme. And no, it's not a crunchy granola company either...more like the opposite, haha On the other hand, the OH's industry is hopeless. I work from home and my wife walks downtown so we're good ;) |

I read a while back that official stats showed approx 70% of workers in and around Vancouver drove to work. Looking at the congestions during rush hour on the news of a morning i can see that.

No country is totally clean i would have thought, but Canada does at least try, cars are smaller these days, recycling bins are rife, Hydro power, and Atomic power are popular, and we have the drive clean test for vehicles every two years here in Ontario, some may say a waste of time & money, but, it does weed out any bad polluting vehicles from the highways and byways. :unsure: |

So apart from the Asbestose mine in Quebec , Albertan Oil sands, Saskatchewan uranium mines, The diamond mines up in the territories and the Halifax tar pits, and as long as we don't count the forest clear cutting that could be considered to be using up carbon we look pretty good compared to China…..

You're having a laugh surely. Lip service, nothing more.
Perfect metaphor for Canadian mentality really... polish a turd, then feel smug because some league tables confirm that Canada is fuller of shiny shit than anywhere else in the world. |

In the short term yes, nuclear, (new-clear) is cool, dishing out nothing but steam. And that Oshawa plant makes some very lovely looking green, yellow, red and silver motor cars, who can complain about that. :blink:
