Well, this is much why I dropped out of environmental activism. I fear you are correct. Canadians are not willing to make the changes that those in Europe have and fighting that is like beating your head against a wall.
However, of late, I've been of the opinion that standing up for what you believe is right is being more true to yourself than throwing in the towel.
I don't think anyone is foolish enough to think that turning off their lights for 1 hour is sufficient to make a huge change on the environment.
