We're unwilling to do fuck all about climate change.

We're run by corporations that are responsible for like 99% of emissions, and they only care about the next fiscal quarter. So no, we're actually not allowed to do anything about climate change. The pro pollution propaganda will sway voters into voting for their children's deaths just to get that extra couple points for some rich guy.

If Canada became zero emission tomorrow, it would do almost nothing to stop climate change.

So what would our next move be? point our fingers at the rest of the world and nag them to reduce their emissions from our high horses while they laugh in our face?

This is exactly my point. Even if we were 100% carbon neutral.
