> There are also local laws that supersede federal law. E.g. There is no federal law against woodburning for home heat, but many local jurisdictions have banned it for air quality reasons, and provinces also have pollution laws

That's not what supersede means.

There is no federal law about wood burning stoves because the constitution assigns environment to the provinces.

If environment is assigned to the provinces then what is the Canadian Environment Protection Act https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services....

AFAICT it’s the federal laws about pollution.
