Transportation is 28% of CO2 emissions in Canada.

Of that, road transportation is about two thirds (or about 19%); the remainder is primarily air and rail.
That said, I very much do agree with reducing our GHG emissions. (Note that we should also eat less beef, cows emit massive amounts of methane, which is far worse for the climate than CO2.)
