Earth Hour Montreal: not much happens

Earth hour came and went in Montreal. We kept our lights off as a symbolic gesture, but not much change was apparent from the houses in the neighborhood, or the broader bit of cityscape I managed to see. The impact of electrical usage from Earth Hour would have been limited, but the symbolism and publicity could have been important. On the whole, I am quite dismayed and a bit disappointed by my brethren.

(In all honesty, I did come close to forgetting start-time of the event myself.)
