@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)?
Apparently I’m the only person in the country who doesn’t find the seasonal time changing to be problematic.
I like having the extra sunshine hours in the summer evenings, and having sunrise come a bit sooner in the winter. And I’ve never personally experienced any dramatically negative effects on the days when the time changes.
You are lucky then. I have trouble sleeping even on good days. Losing 1 hour of sleep that I already have trouble getting is majorly problematic for me.
Same. I usually don’t notice until I get in the car and the clock is an hour off.
I am sure the people with the increased amount of car accidents and heart attacks care.
Motorists are more likely to die in collisions, but cyclists and pedestrians are not; and by a nearly equal amount. So maybe take active or public transit for a week or two following the time change. It will help with reducing heart attacks too.

I live in Saskatchewan so I don’t worry about this time change BS.
