That's what I'm talking about: we need change beyond just Waterloo Region. Yes, we need to act, and, yes, being a leader would be good. But I am also being realistic: our changes alone will not have an appreciable impact on fossil fuel demand, even if that production happens to be in Canada.
Oil sands can be regulated now, and once global oil demand drops enough, production there will eventually become uneconomical. Mind you, that approach doesn't help quite as much with reducing fracking, which has its own environmental issues.
