This is news to me about Canada though. I guess it makes some sense though seeing as yall are direct neighbors to us in the US. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason Americans have favored a popular vite option since the 1960's only like a third of the people here want to keep the EC and they're republicans.

This is news to me about Canada though. I guess it makes some sense though seeing as yall are direct neighbors to us in the US. Having lived in Europe and now in Canada I do see some differences inc consumption patterns Cars, appliances like refrigerators are bigger in Canada In Europe more ppl also live in apartments not to mention rely on public Transit more Canadian cities are like US cities... A lot of detached houses with picket fences (especially in suburbs) and commercial stuff and industrial stuff zoned far apart forcing longer commutes and making walking impossible Australia shares those patterns with Canada and the US Also Canada has tones of resources and it's too tempting not to extract them... Even tho we have tougher environmental laws than some developing Countries, there's going to be some impact from mining and fossil fuel extraction regardless As for Australia, excluding tiny Nations like Norway, Luxembourg Qatar, Switzerland etc... Australia is the wealthiest Nation in the world on a per capita basis when looking at more major economies If they are so wealthy, inevitably they will consume a lot and their ecological footprint will be high Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
