Join the petition to ask the Canadian government to adopt Standard Time all year round.
"Changing clocks twice a year is hazardous to your health. There are many studies showing that changing the clock and staying on Daylight Saving Time negatively impacts our circadian rhythm, causes increases in strokes and heart attacks, impacts people with depression and seasonal affective disorder and causes more car accidents.
I ask the Canadian Government to finally stop Daylight Saving Time and enact Permanent Standard Time. Even if one person is saved from having a stroke or heart attack or is saved from a car accident, it's worth it. Support the health and safety of Canadians and set an example for the rest of the world.
Follow the scientific research. Do the right thing and not just the easy and uninformed thing. Don’t change the clocks. Leave them on Standard Time year round. Do not spring forward."
No thanks. BC has super early sunrise in summer with Daylight savings, going back to standard time for summer would put the daylight starting about 3:30-4am
Each province should work out what suits their average day. BC we get 45 minutes more early morning sun, Ontario and East gets about 45 mins later sun.
What's so crazy about that? It's pretty far north, it's pretty normal to have long sunlight hours in the summer up north. Northern BC doesn't get any night time in the summer anyways. The darkest they get is nautical twilight. And they get almost 19 hours of sun.
The sun is Earth's nearest astrolog astronomical glowing ball of gas from which we get light and base our measurement of time, also taking into calculation the Earth's rotation on its axis.
Oh you're right, sorry, I meant astronomical. I will go fix that.
Anyway I'm not the one who made the decision that the winter clock time is the astronomically correct time. Someone else hundreds/thousands of years ago made that decision and the knowledge has been passed down and it's in my head.
