Canada's per capita standing being the worst with regard to greenhouse gas production is largely due to the vast scale of industrial resource harvesting that goes on here. Other factors are the size of the country, with a relatively small population and a very cold climate in winter.
We can't really use the cold winter argument - Sweden and Norway do way better than us.

Our resource extraction economy is an issue. Which is why need to winding down the tar sands and that makes any new pipelines redundant.

Right, but they are factors that don't put us on a level playing field with other countries. If you are comparing with other countries, these should be factored in.

Resource extraction goes far beyond just the oil sands. The oil sand mining is just a small part of what Canada extracts from resources.
