New federal clean fuel regulations, which take effect on Canada Day, are designed to cut pollution from vehicles. Although there won't be much of a change to pump prices across the country on July 1, experts say, there will be a noticeable increase several years down the road. (Kyle Bakx/CBC)

"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.

You have a good point. Apparently only 2 countries are hitting their targets...
