Dear little neighbourhood judgement Nazi: Yes, I am aware of Earth Hour. If you had passed by my house on Saturday, you would have noticed that my lights were off from the time I left at 6 pm to the time I came back home at around 4:30 am. Which made it difficult to get my key in the lock, but I knew I wasn’t going to be around between 8 and 9… ok, I digress. Leaving a note in my mailbox on MONDAY NIGHT just proves that you’re a fricking retard. Oh, and it’s spelled “ever HEARD of Earth Hour”. A HERD refers to cattle… Go back to school and work on your penmanship and spelling. Fucktard. —Shaking Head

  1. Meh, I did earth hour – had people over for dinner, then we sat in the dark with candles drinking wine and playing silly card games. Big flippin’ deal for an hour.

  2. Whatever your attitude to “Earth Hour” it’s nobody’s fucking business whether or not you choose to observe it. The note ,of course, was anonymous which is a shame because this sanctimonious little puff of fair-trade methane needs to be informed “If you want to play blockwarden – move to fucking Havana”

  3. Correction Wheelie: Big Flashing NEON sign – plugged in 24/7. And an Elizabeth May pinata swinging from the dead elm tree on your front lawn.

  4. The way these Earth huggers protest, you’d think the Earth was going to shit in a hand basket in the next 5 years. For fucks sake, these people will have turned to dust long before that happens. So go out, turn on your lights, drive your SUVs, and say “Suck it” Mother Earth.

  5. O.P., FUCK EARTH HOUR, OR EVEN 24 HOURS, FOR THAT MATTER. big deal. you actually think that leaving your lights off for 1 whole hour is going to help this fucking rock. not on your life.
    with all the toxic shit released everyday, it’s a wonder we are still alive. do you save money for time power is off, yeah, about 5 cents. but when you turn the juice back on, then you have a spike, and multiply that by millions, well then, look at the cash flow to emera. do they want us to help save energy, nah, that cuts into profits. fuck earth hour, leave your lights on, and maybe, turn on a couple extra, to get it nice and bright, for the assholes that do support this greenie shit.

  6. i agree with life sucks..it’s only purpose was to create an delusional view that you were actually doing something positive for the environment,when in reality it means squat,period…..

  7. ..they started installing “smart” meters in the GTA bout a year ago..peeps bills actually went UP an average of 4% ..pathetic..

  8. everytime i see this post i swear my blood pressure goes up..i wish a tree hugger tried to scold me..i’m nice 95% of the time..but i’m thinking if it was a granola maid type..she’d b e crying when i was done 🙂

  9. I got a good fire going in the woodstove, turned on every light in the house & went out in the back yard to my fire pit & burned a bunch of brush, most of the old deck I tore off the house last year & replaced…unfortunately I didn’t have a tire to burn ~:’
    But from 7 ish til 9:30 when my honey got off work I was doing my part , to help increase global warming.

    After all didn’t anyone else notice how damn cold it was in Februry ? Working together we can change that.

  10. ..yea well they got that covered ..it’s called climate change now…when that fails..they’ll do a new “study”…

  11. Had everything on while I went for a drive. I pay for it, I’ll use it and fuck everybody else.

  12. speaking of penmanship, i don’t think it’s taught anymore. spelling is probably the next to go…hold my hand chickpeasis *sob*

  13. Anglo or should I say Peter or Darrell, you just outed yourself with your favourite saying. 😉

  14. We participated. Turned everything off and lit some candles and sat in the candlelight talking and sharing a bottle of vino.

    Earth Hour is not an attempt to significantly reduce the output of global warming gases directly.

    Earth Hour, as a global event, is meant to raise peoples’ awareness of their own part in the global warming/ climate change drama, so that maybe they will make changes in other parts of their lives and perhaps get involved in positive changes at the community, regional and national levels.

    With regard to the original bitch, assuming it wasn’t a complete fabrication meant to facilitate the bashing of environmentalists and give others a chance to demonstrate that they don’t give a rat’s ass about the world they are bequeathing to their descendants, I think the neighbour was out of line to drop a chastising note in the OP’s mailbox.

  15. LOLZ Zedman. I notice that Ms. May is pitching a little pissy fit about not being allowed to take part in the televised leader’s debate. Typical Canadian entitlement; “My party doesn’t hold a single seat, I couldn’t even get elected last time but I still deserve to be taken seriously or I’ll stamp my widdle feet and cry fascistic,sexism to the media. Waaah”
    Maybe there should be a fringe party leaders debate on the Comedy network. Then Dizzy Ms. Lizzie could swap witticisms with the Commies, the Dopies, the Flat Earthers and whichever other whack job has crawled out of the woodwork.

  16. Though it does surprise me that the Coast hasn’t done one article about the upcoming election.

  17. Oh, no doubt they’ll be mining the “Harper/Hitler” meme for pure gold Tim, as the date draws near.

  18. i would like to believe that the COAST has better things to put in their paper. anyway, one is as bad as the other, come election time. they all spew whatever we want to hear, and then we decide to elect the one who has the nicest sounding lies. ah, canadian politricks, gotta love it.

  19. Ivan, didn’t she do that last time? kick up a fuss until they let her on?

    then they went Harper bashing worse than if he were on a Comedy Central Roast….
    It was great… looking forward to another one… this time with Iggy instead of that uber-passive, pencil-neck frenchie douche….

  20. I don’t trust Iggy as far as I can throw him.

    I know things.

    From his Harvard days.

    Let’s just say, however this election turns out, we’re pretty much fuk’d.

  21. Yeah ,”Harvard Iggy” can tell a “Steve-O’s small dick” joke that can really make you think.

    That she did. Hopefully whoever determines such things will stick to their guns this time. For all of it’s many irremediable faults the one thing that Canadian democracy should never become is the political equivalent of game time at a Montessorri school. “You’re all winners!”
    Want the privilege of fucking over the Canadian taxpayer; Sister you’d better damn well earn it.

  22. Vote Pirate Party. See if we can’t some real change in Ottawa. (Yes, I will keep shilling for the Pirate Party until the election is over. No, they are not paying me to.)

  23. I didn’t see anything in their platform about removing the tax on Demerara rum and West African slaves or building new 44 gun sailing frigates for the navy. Just a bunch of stuff about trade and copywright laws; kinda like the last 3 (suckass) Star Wars movies.>: (

  24. The current litmus test for taking part in televised leaders debates seems to be having at least one elected representative in the House of Commons.

    On those grounds, Elizabeth May doesn’t qualify.

    Perhaps the qualification should be re-examined.

    For example, the Bloc Quebecois ran candidates only in the province of Quebec, which garnered them 1,379,991 votes which translates into 10.0 % of all votes cast in the 2008 election.

    In comparison, the Green Party ran candidates in just about every federal riding across the country, which gave them 937,613 votes which translates into 6.8% of all votes cast in 2008.

    Based on those numbers a convincing argument could be made that the leader of the Green Party should be invited to televised leaders debates.

    I don’t think this should be seen as pandering to special interests. Almost 1 million voters doesn’t strike me as a special interest.

    I’d like to see substantial reform of the Canadian political process.

    For starters, the appointed senate has long been an anachronism, although these kinds of things could come back into fashion as we move away from democratic principles.

    Another change I’d like to make is to do away with the “first past the post” system we have and adopt a system where representatives are chosen according to the percentage of total votes a party receives, in other words, a system of proportional representation. This would give us an elected body which more accurately reflects the wishes of the citizens.

    If such a system were currently in place, our House of Commons would look a lot different based on the votes that were cast in the last federal election. The Conservatives would have only 115 seats instead of 143, the Bloc Quebecois would have only 30 seats instead of 49, the NDP would have 56 seats instead of 37 and, significantly, the Green Party would have 21 seats instead of none.

    None could argue against this being a more accurate representation of the voters’ wishes.

  25. I forgot to participate in Earth Hour but generally live an environmentally frugal life, so I don’t feel too bad about it- cyclo-commute, recycle, buy second hand/local (when possible). I totally get the point of advocacy and awareness-raising events, but it was a busy weekend and I just didn’t think of it.
