This billboard is on top of a four-storey building in the Plateau neighbourhood of Montreal. With the Canadian election day coming up on October 14th, there's a bombardment of plastic election signs everywhere - major pedestrian hazards. (Right To Move, a student- and community-run bike shop at Concordia University, reuses these signs as splash guards. Now that's what I call recycling.)

Hahaha!! I love Montreal.
The sign's meaning is quite true, though. The Conservatives' Clean Air Act (I think that's what it was called :S correct me if I'm wrong) is pathetic.
How quickly you forget that when Dion was Environment MInister, in spite of grandiosely having signed the Kyoto treaty, they did precisely NOTHING. In fact, while Dion was at the controls, Canada's CO2 emissions increased drastically.
P.S. Hahahahaha!!
haha!! I saw this sign on the way to school last week! genius concept!
