This has been the Canadian model and the Right has still weaponized the worst kind of vitriol against it (despite a carbon tax being the most market friendly mechanism).

Opponents of carbon tax and similar measures need to decide which they like less... some lost profits, an escalating carbon tax, and reshuffling their investment portfolios -- or food riots, mass migration, the massive resurgence of left wing populism, and even civil war, once the effects of climate change become intense and obvious to the populace.

Canada is likely to be spared the worst effects of climate change due to geography so it might not seem like such a serious problem to them. Even under the worst case scenario, Canada will still be self sufficient in staple crops. And any mass migrations will have to pass through the USA first.
