What did you expect? Leadership on the environment?

Harper snubs Earth Hour:
Thanks to its place of prominence in the capital, 24 Sussex Dr., the Prime Minister's residence, is always easy to spot. As Ottawa went dark last night for Earth Hour, it was even easier.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's lights stayed on.

Okay so earth hour was just a symbolic gesture but couldn't he have pretended to support it? He had nothing to lose but good will. Methinks the lights are on but there's nobody home, if you know what I mean.

    Though lights turned off for an hour itself wouldnt have saved much, look at the amount of awareness that it created for the environment. I think net net, it helped the environment.

    Help the environment. Go green!

  2. Yes, perception is everything.Unfortunately Steve doesn't recognize this. Our Prime Minister's failure to support this initiative is significant.
