Meeting on trade with many foreign leaders to open new markets, while trying to negotiate with largest historical trading partner == capitulation. Ok, I see.

Ah, you reworded from "increased by 121%" to "is 121% of what it was". "Increased by 21%" is a much clearer statement. Using 121% in that way is trying to mislead with statistics.

I see you deleted your original reply (in order to orphan my correction?) but didn't correct yourself. That is an increase of 21% not 121%.
My original 30-fold did not account for that. Let's adjust my 3000% down to 2979% due to population growth.

No, I *think* is not a substitute for a breadth of knowledge and resources, but a blanket "it's not climate change" doesn't leverage that. It's about as convincing as:
Yes, a volcano went off nearby, but don't overlook that animals sometimes lose their desire to breathe.

1 & 2 are good points.
3, I don't believe there's been a behavioral change in Canada comparable to the scale of climate change.

You said it's unlikely related to climate change. I think climate change is the most significant factor for increase in Canada, but I'm open to counter-arguments or counter-examples.
