@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)?
It’s always “Pacific”, regardless if it is ST or DST.
The real fuckery is that the referendum gave us only two choices, not three:
There was no option for permanent Standard Time, so everyone chose the least-worst option instead of the much better one that wasn’t even provided.
For west coast permanent daylight is better. We have darkness around 3:30 pm in winter, so now it will be 4:30 which is much better driving hone from work with some daylight. And with daylight time in summer its getting light out around 4:30-4:45am, if we went back to standard time that would be 3:30-3:45am. I don’t enjoy sunshine that early
No I prefer gmt-7 to gmt-8. I just think year-round gmt-7 should be called “mountain time.”
I say we change the time every day such that sunrise is 6am in Toronto. Fuck your/my microwave clock. Permanent standard time would have some post 8am sunrises.
