@canada Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?
If yes, what would you prefer: year round daylight savings time (an extra hour of sunlight in the evening) or standard time (an extra hour of sunlight in the morning)?
Stop changing the clocks. I don’t care which permanent time we pick, just make it permanent.
I’m from Saskatchewan. Literally nothing would change for me.
yes, we should just be on winter time year round
Im in favor of not having fascism anywhere in the world. Who cares about time change when there is an active conspiracy to instill fascism in all governments worldwide.
I am a little excited to not have to change our clocks back come November. I know experts say we should have stayed on Standard time and I probably would have preferred that, but I don’t think it’s going to make more of a difference than the torture of changing our clocks and fucking up our sleep twice a year. We can work around excess daylight, we can’t work around screwing up the timing of our body processes. It would be foolish of the other provinces to not follow suit.
As long as its standard time.
My recently ruined sleep schedule thinks this sounds good. Personally I’d go for standard time cause waking up to darkness is really depressing for me.
I’d rather Ontario extend Atlantic time to Sudbury.
@ILikeBoobies is Ontario not a single timezone?
It is but the sun comes up and goes down too early all year in the eastern side of it.
Absolutely. But they need to do it right. Eby’s “permanent” change to Daylight Savings Time will most likely get rescinded in a year or two just like it has everywhere else it has been tried because it doesn’t work. That hour on winter mornings is needed far, far more than the hour in the evening in the summer. He would have been much better to have not changed the time on March 8th and just left it alone.
I absolutely want to get rid of changing clocks every year, which is nice because BC is doing just that
Unfortunately I think BC is going permanent Daylight savings, where I would prefer permanent Standard. It’s much nicer to wake up to daylight in the morning, and I don’t particularly care for doing outdoor activities at 10-11pm.
Yes, as long as they go back to the standard for time zones.
My region has not.
Alberta here. Fuck yes! The premise of DST is stupid. Changing twice a year is more stupider.
Abolish it forever and move to standard time.
Also Alberta, also yes.
Danielle Smith would be less able to break things while working on it, too.
Fully support ditching the switch.
Yes. Please keep it at standard time. Keep noon at noon.
In BC we are now on permanent daylight savings. Gives us a winter dark around 4:30 instead of 3:30
Most people won’t even notice if they leave work at 5pm, will still be dark no matter what so why not have an extra hour of light in the morning instead? I much prefer standard.
In winter it is dark here in the morning too. Rainforest oveecaat cloud cover means its pretty bleak
Also in BC. We should have gone with permanent Standard time imo.
Why? You want 3;:30 sunrise starting? I prefer the 4:30am start, and daylight in the winter near end of day
Same here. Wish they put it to referendum, no idea why they went with daylight savings.
Why would you want sunrise at 330 in the summer?
Why not? Wake up naturally with no alarm clock at like 6am ready to take on the day and feeling refreshed. Sunlight pouring through the windows as you drink your coffee and get showered.
I would rather have a ton of sunlight in the morning then late in the evening.
You can do the same with 430am sunlight though.
We get that already with 4:30am sun starting, no need for 3:30am
You chose to be consistantly wrong ?
You probably don’t live near Vancouver. Otherwise you’d know Daylight time makea more sense
Ontario already has legislation for this, but it’s tied to I think New York and Quebec doing the same
Quebec hasn’t passed legislation, but they’ve agreed in theory to do it if Ontario and New York also do it.
So we’re pretty much just waiting on New York.
@prodigalsorcerer @tooclose104 that’s what BC was saying for a while. That they had to wait for the states in the Western US to do it. But eventually BC just pulled the trigger and did it without them
Yeah, I don’t have much hope of it happening in Ontario with our current government. It seems too difficult to use in a way that enriches him or his buddies. Best we can hope for is it happening right before the next election in hopes that we ignore all the corruption and just think “hey,
buck a beer!$200 cheques!no more time change!”@prodigalsorcerer yeah speaking of corruption in ontario, duggies new legislation on FOI requests is actually wild. I hope that somehow manages to not make it thru
