Liberal MP says it’s time to stop the clock on daylight time
-
Did New York say that? I thought Ontario and Quebec had passed bills that would end it as soon as NY also did it.
passing bills that say we WILL do it, really doesn’t mean anything. it’s just political posturing.
basically, this is the exact same as what i was saying : we won’t do it unless the other guy guys do it.

Ontario has a law on the books that will trigger once NY and QC get their shit together
they sure do, but it’s really not the same as actually just doing instead of saying “we will do it if the other guy does it”

I don’t want to hear about a DST bill if it’s a private member’s bill from a back-bencher, but I’ll bite.

Ugh.

Why doesn’t it mean anything?
It literally means that if NY ends DST, we will follow suit to match them. It doesn’t do anything until then, if that’s what you mean, but it still has actual meaning beyond political posturing.
It’s also not what you said. You said NY had already committed to doing it (which they haven’t) if Ontario did it too. I can’t find anything about Quebec passing a similar bill, so I may have been mistaken about that.

Move to a place where the sun doesn’t change so much with the seasons.
In fairness, this isn’t possible in Canada. They don’t have a Hawaii or Puerto Rico

I don’t care about the time change but personally I prefer standard time.

So venus ?

Not sure where they did this study, but around here, kids that have to be at school for 8:00 are going in during the dark regardless of DST or not. Plus, they already delayed the switch by nearly a month “for the children” so they are not out in the scary dark for Halloween. So which is it?

What a bold stance on a trivial matter in a time of multiple simultaneous existential crises.
So brave. So wise. This is peak Leadership.
Enough whataboutism, please. The Government has hundreds of MPs; it doesn’t make sense for all of them to spend all their time on the same small subset of issues, even if they’re critical. Like, it’s literally impossible to have that many people at a literal table.

Small subset of issues? Lol. We’re in a damn near everything crisis.
Edit: I propose the Daylight Savings Time working group work on fucking foodbanks, for one out of a billion more important issues.
Edit 2: Whataboutism is a disingenous technique to deride progress along certain lines. This isn’t that. This is prioritization. Sad you can’t tell the difference.
Hungry people including children vs moving the clock an hr for half the year? There are so many critical issues right now.

I prefer the time zone where the sun comes up later and sets later…
Most of us arent farmers anymore. We dont need sunrise at 5am
Would prefer to have a bit of light after work
Same. In summetime BC we have 4:30am with what seems like full daylight. And then winter its dark at 3:30 pm. The time shift is messed up, if we lose Daylight time we’d have 3:30am summer mornings. We need a 2 hour shift to all months maybe

Permanent Daylight Savings Time is the worst possible solution, so that is probably what they will go with.

Don’t you love your new longer blanket?"

Either way. I don’t care. Just stop fucking with the time.
