Rideau Hall, home to Governor General Michaëlle Jean, was dark and federal Environment Minister John Baird was at his Nepean home "with the lights off, of course," said spokesperson Eric Richer.

    I thought the goal was to turn off all "un-neccessary" lights not all lights.

    At least I know that my Prime Minister chose not to work in the dark unlike the other non-eorking politicians!!

    people need lights to work. It's a nice thought and all, but come on people we can't expect the entire country to go dark

    As accurate as ever Donny. It was that Tory supporting media stalwart, the Toronto Star from whence the article came.

    Mind you, the truth never gets in the way of your posts eh?

    It actually came from .



    another funny pic


    "First stop was the Public Service Alliance of Canada building at 233 Gilmour st. This building is the Ottawa/federal hub for left-wing / labour / socialist causes as NDP associations and organizations close to the NDP have frequent use of board rooms and meeting spaces there. Here it is in its Earth Hour illuminated glory:"

    Funny that. A few lights in one building constitutes "all its glory" but in another, he's sure it's "for security reasons".

    Yup.
    No bias there.


    Come on Lily, you would have thought our ever-so-worried-about-global-warming CBC would have been very careful to be above contradiction on this.

    Harper and 24 Sussex should have done the proper thing and switched off too. Stop being partisan for 60 minutes and use some common sense, bet you can't!

    What does partisan have to do with anything?

    I didn't shut any extra lights off last night. I didn't even dim them. :D


    I got the tea-lights out to do my bit....tut tut Lily!

    I'm not much of an environmentalist. ;)


    Well, that and I don't like people telling me what I should do. :D


    Hah! Don't tread on me, stupid government and lefty enviro-clown busybodies, just like when the new flag went up on the last episode of "Jericho"! All those years of pretending otherwise but I knew you were a conservative at heart. Welcome to Obi-Wan's side of The Force! 8)

    If you post a Ann or Pipes article I will turn my lights out for a month, donate the grocery money to the Suzuki Foundation, join MADD, stop laughing at Dion and donate the family jewels to science.
    :wink:
