Does that mean that a country that imports 100% of the oil it burns should be counted as having no emissions?
No, but since Canada can regulate/limit the oil and gas it exports, this is still a useful number.
Imports also need to be counted.
Unfortunately climate change is every country’s responsibility to fix, since every bit helps.
