More evidence that these bitter ranting/raving climate change denying folks are the Flat-Earth Society members of our time; that they are massively on the wrong side of this issue - and that Canadians ignored such rantings and appeals to ignore it, and instead endorsed it:
Canada had one of the highest participation rates around the globe with over 150 cities participating. Great job Canada! Many buildings and landmarks also turned off their lights. These included the CN Tower, Niagara Falls, Toronto Eaton Centre, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Honest Ed’s in Ontario; all buildings in which VanCity, BC Hydro and City of Vancouver operate; and the MacDonald Bridge, City Hall, and Parade Square in Halifax.
I can also add on a personal note that it wasn’t just those “Liberal/liberal/socialist” areas of Canada that participated in this. I was with people who were going to a wedding reception in the small town of Delhi Ontario last night around that time. Delhi is in the heart of what was once prime tobacco growing country and very rural. It too turned out the lights of its muncipal buildings and had invited people to come join and commemorate the event at the darkened community centre. You could see literally hundreds of people in there through the windows of the centre - hundred out of a small town of several thousand on a Saturday night. It was very impressive.
