I think you (and others) have misunderstood what I was saying — the metric can be gamed by having more people. Most of Canada’s pollution is industrial and won’t shift all that much by adding more people. The solution is to just call out all the polluting factors and reduce them, no matter which metric is being used to measure.
The problem isn’t the pollution to person ratio, it’s the pollution. The solution is for the entire country to pollute less.
Huh?
The solution to “too much pollution per person” is to have more people polluting"???
Are you serious?
