AncasterMike: Each of the Chinese.....
Oh, I think I'm starting to get it. When Canadian standards of living fall, at some point they'll meet those of the Chinese on their ascent. Then we'll all be equal in the world. It also seems to me that it's the Chinese and Asian markets that are buying our oil and coal and building 'dirty' energy plants in India and Africa to burn them in, as per the New York Times article I cited:

It's all starting to make sense to me now. The co2 emissions from those plants they're building in India and Africa won't really count because Canadians will have offset them through carbon taxes. But you know we can sell them the coal and dirty oil that we're shipping to them through the west coast right now. Even more when the Liberal approved Kinder Morgan pipeline is completed. Carbon taxes for Canadians and dirty coal and oil to Asia. Makes sense.
