Post by: Vince on September 27, 2011, 03:43:27 PM: Check this out! (http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2011/2011-04-16/html/reg1-eng.html) It's simply awesome!

Did the Canadians' complaints convince the goverment to keep the incandescent lamp for two years longer? ;D

Well at least there's more time for me to stock up! ;D
