Should daylight saving time end? Ottawa expert shares health risks
Early starts and darker days may be taking more than just an hour of sleep. An Ottawa researcher lays out the hidden toll of time change.
This is brought up twice a year every year. After 40+ years of it either do it or shut up about it.
Yes, let's do it, let's end it finally!
Yes.
Or make it permanent. I don't care which.
Every year with these same articles
Yes.
Yes it is.
This again.
It won't happen because the States won't do it.
Stoopid! Because it's no longer needed! And it's harmful.
If SK can stop fiddling with clocks twice a year, other provinces can do it too.
Yes. Full stop.
End it. And make it keep winter time. With the outdoors getting hotter every year, I want more time in the dark when it’s ever so slightly cooler.
Nooooo :/ Then I have no more time to go running after work in the fall and spring :c
Maybe we need "winter time" in the summer and "summer time" in the winter?
(half trolling)
Morning light is also a big health benefit. Going to permanent DST would mess people up, especially school children that would effectively start school 1h earlier.
.... So living further away from the equator is detrimental to your health? I haven't heard of this phenomenon.
Maybe we could reach some kind of middle ground (so permanently lose/gain a half hour instead of a whole hour)?
Change the time everyday throughout the year to keep a constant sunrise time
very year. After 40+ years of it either do it or shut up about it.
Use a sextant to 'call noon' every day? Lovely.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Centrist brain poison
If it was standard time during the summer months, Montreal sunrise would be 4:05AM and sunset at 7:45PM in June.
If Montreal remained in DST year round, sunrise would be at 8:30AM and set at 5:15PM in December.
If we remained on standard time, we'd have sunrise at 4:35AM and sunset at 8PM in Toronto.
If we had DST year round, sunrise would be 8:45AM and sunset would be at 5:40PM in Toronto.
I think Standard time sucks in the summer. And while I'd love to have more sunlight in the afternoon in the winter, I recognize that having sunrise only by 8:30-8:45AM is detrimental.
There are no health risks. However there is a mental health benefit of not having to deal with this bullshit anymore.
It’s handy as a litmus test for those too delicate to survive.
If a one hour change fractures your entire fragile life then I have nothing but contempt for you.
I don’t really care about it other than for being useful to identify whiners.
Oh my, the fragile came out in droves for this one. It’s awesome. Blocking every single one of you as useless to the modern world. 🤣
Hey, I found a new litmus test of my own! Neat!
Careful not to cut yourself on that edge, bud
Could you try for one second not to make everything some kind of culture war issue?
