Canada is pretty bad, but if Russia and Saudi Arabia are not on your list of petrostates, you're doing it wrong.

Canada has been called out as a "climate hypocrite" by an independent international sustainability think-tank for claiming to be a clean energy transition leader while stepping up the award of oil and gas drilling permits to levels not seen since 2017.

While you're correct, the point isn't that Canada is the biggest pollutor. It's that Canada swore to do better and is instead doing worse.

And when the CPC wins this next election, it'll get even worse.

Technically, if they openly tear up the agreement, they're not hypocrites.
