In terms of scale and absolute number they absolutely are though. Canada might produce more renewable energy per capita, but that’s more than offset by the sheer gluttony of energy consumption per capita. Also worth noting that much of Canadian renewable infrastructure, such as solar panels, was almost certainly produced in China.
The funny part is that despite the fact that the west outsources a bunch of its production to China, per capita emissions in China are still lower than most western countries.
