@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)?

    In BC we are now on permanent daylight savings. Gives us a winter dark around 4:30 instead of 3:30

      Instead of changing how the sun works maybe change how humans work. Instead of 9 to 5, how about 8 to 4 ?

        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 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.

      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
