My province already did this year and we knew it was happening last year

These guys act like their whole economy operates in one timezone and the sky would fall if they found out people had to deal with other people living outside their bubble.

It depends. Is the time they’ll use metric or imperial?

Please, it’s a useless concept in today’s world.

Alberta just did. BC already did. I think Sask also removed daylight savings.

BC already moved to permanent daylight time this year - it’s just a matter of time now (pun not intended).

I want permanent daylight saving time, but we should do it because it’s a good idea NOT because the Americans are doing it. We shouldn’t be doing anything to imitate the Americans

Looking at the parliamentary docs, setting a permanent time was agreed upon by everyone, but they agreed not to move forward until the USA agreed to so as well.

This was just a few years ago when I found those docs.

Edit Now that the U.S. House has passed the legislation, the bill is headed to the Senate, although its future remains uncertain. If New York were to adopt the legislative changes, Ontario could potentially move forward with abolishing the practice, as Bill 214, which was passed by the Ontario Legislature in 2020, maintains that the province will eliminate the ritual if New York and Quebec do the same.

And

Bill 214, Time Amendment Act, 2020

My weird proposal is that I think the western provinces should be permament daylight savings, while the eastern provinces should be permentantly standard time. The impact would be to narrow the time difference between east and west by 1 hour, which should allow for more options in the job market.

For instance, a company based in Toronto may not be willing to start an office in Vancouver if there’s only 5 hours of overlap per work day, but may be if there’s 6 hours of overlap. Ditto for remote workers.

Just an American perspective… Who is this helping? What is best? Why? Do we choose the DTS where it’s dark in the early morning? Or choose one where there’s more light in the afternoon? I’m going to call dark mornings beneficial for companies and light in the afternoon beneficial for workers.

Or will they choose light in the morning and eternal darkness in the afternoon noon?

Somewhere in there you have issues with cars going east to west in the mornings or afternoons getting blinded and running over kids and others and things including other cars. 5pm when the sun light is in your eyes going uphill and you forgot to wash your windshield is a terrible thing. But it happens every day at different times of the day.

Finally there’s me and work from home. Me time. There’s no point in going to work to socialize for someone else’s profit. I must rather not car what time it is and just stay home and try to accomplish something to get payed. A midnight massage is just as effective as a mid day massage. Either way you can illuminate your massage table and you wouldn’t car what time it was. You just need to know how long you paid for that massage or how long you got paid to give it. I could be flexible and have my own hours for giving massages…say from 9am to 6pm. But I could also get paid a little more if I get someone in at midnight because their job ends at 11pm.

This whole 8am to 5pm is just business bullshit from before the computer and technology revolution. We should do away with it. Also Monday, Tuesday… Saturday and Sunday and then do it all again 52 times with a little party in between is just dumb. Keep track of that if you care for plants or want to know how old you are. I just don’t think counting time is important for me as much as it is important for some other asshole who wants to extract an amount of work from me and pay me less than what it’s worth. That’s really what time is all about… making billionaires.

Hopefully.

I read an article that went over how more light in the morning is better for humans. Something about a “time lag” between solar time and our clocks, the bigger the difference, the worse it is for our health. The current proposal is more evening light which is daylight savings time. One of the scientist interviewed said their wouldn’t be sunshine until 9:30am where they lived.

I’m all for the clocks not being changed twice a year as long as it’s early morning sun.
