It's only double counted in a situation where you're actually counting both sides. This is a Canadian study published by a Canadian outlet about the impacts of Canadian policy.

They're not trying to balance the books, so to speak, they're evaluating transactions on a single account.

Yes, but if you are considering Canada carbon you can't include both everything they sell and everything they import. The earth is a closed system.

If you want to assess Canadas impact you can't include impacts other countries have- thats their impact and your making Canada response for them. You could, and should, include net exports of fuel.
