[DimeWS89]

Toronoto is gay and so is canada

[Tryhard341]

well we did better than New York

[FreeMMOReviews]

lol Toronto has it all. hopefully they dont make anymore buildings because we will pollute way more than we have to.

[1nzane]

It's like the end of that movie the day the earth stood still

[blanchelincoln]

Wow, I'm so glad they're "concerned". I feel so inspired. Seriously though, do you have any video of them turning all of the wasteful energy use back on an hour later?

[canesfan471]

toronto is so fucking cool. I believe I like dundas better than times square

[ITOMIC85]

Are you on drugs?

[canesfan471]

Mmhmm. Dundas is more open, times square is like a closet. And yes I am an American

[ITOMIC85]

That's why they are building the great stairway. A place in Duffy Square that will enable people to sit and chat while enjoying Times Square.

The only true places you can compare Times Square to, is Shibuya and Las Vegas. That's it.

[oldrin]

ooo come on dont compare this to times square... .... times square is really cool and it is not fair to compare it with young-dundas.... itomic85 is right... i agree with him/her

[ITOMIC85]

You do know that Toronto Life Square is now in recievership and is totally broke right? Left and right large companies are pulling out of the develompent after racking up 280 million dollars in debt.

Thus ends toronto's pathetic attempt to rival the greatness that is Times Square.

[Langstaft]

At Least Toronto Isnt a Smog City Of Pollution.

And Toronto Compared To New York Times Square Seems ALOT Better

[robeen46]

soo true and so do i!!

[JMK1998]

Too bad you couldn't turn Toronto off for good. The Canadian bed of Socialism, comrade Miller and the rest of his Lackey's.

It's about making a statement, that we're concerned. Both because of the environmental impact of our energy use, and also the fact that we ought to start thinking that eventually fossil fuels will run out. So see, there's something in it for everyone. EVEN for the skeptical Conservatives amongst us.

[ceresone]

Like turning off your lights is gonna help save the Earth. Environmentalists should be concerned about super conducting super colliders, Genetically engineered plants and animals along with depleted uranium. You never see the media talking about REAL threats to the environment...

Monsanto is the BIGGEST THREAT TO US ALL, not carbon emissions. Those "energy efficient" bulbs contain toxic mercury and are a thousand times worse than your standard lightbulb. "Google: Al Gore = hypocrite"

[scamsters]

all gore is a dick, but the power plants are fired by coal which cuts down more mountains in Virginia which ruins animals homes and carbon emission are very bad. yes the energy bulbs have mercury but if disposed of properly they are fine. the other things you were talking about are so have so little to do with the problem. i turned off my lights.

@ceresone Exactly! I'm glad someone here understands the truth! Earth Hour is a huge hoax and electricity use does nothing to harm the environment.

hey earth hour was really fun =)

next year im sure more people will turn off their lights... i bet the bsinesses that didn't tur off their lights got some bad press for not doing so,, so next year they'll meet the consumer expectation. =)

[rancwr]

Great video, but it would have been more impactful if the contrast hadn't changed around the 50 second mark to so much brighter. It really loses the impact of the lights going out when the ambient light is showing so brightly.

[kasumi02]

lol, the sun shines when the lights go off. intresting. i forgot to do my part of share :(

[hissassa]

they should always get those lights off at night

[3461167]

hmm, i gotta disagree.. dudas square is my favourite part of the city because of its active lights =)
