Abolish and use standard time. BTW, standard time doesn't give an extra hour of sunlight in the morning, it's equal. DST gives an extra sunlight hour in the evening.

Stop changing the clocks. I don't care which permanent time we pick, just make it permanent.
I'm from Saskatchewan. Literally nothing would change for me.
yes, we should just be on winter time year round
Im in favor of not having fascism anywhere in the world. Who cares about time change when there is an active conspiracy to instill fascism in all governments worldwide.
I am a little excited to not have to change our clocks back come November. I know experts say we should have stayed on Standard time and I probably would have preferred that, but I don't think it's going to make more of a difference than the torture of changing our clocks and fucking up our sleep twice a year. We can work around excess daylight, we can't work around screwing up the timing of our body processes. It would be foolish of the other provinces to not follow suit.
As long as its standard time.
My recently ruined sleep schedule thinks this sounds good. Personally I'd go for standard time cause waking up to darkness is really depressing for me.
I'd rather Ontario extend Atlantic time to Sudbury.
@ILikeBoobies is Ontario not a single timezone?
It is but the sun comes up and goes down too early all year in the eastern side of it.
Absolutely. But they need to do it right. Eby's "permanent" change to Daylight Savings Time will most likely get rescinded in a year or two just like it has everywhere else it has been tried because it doesn't work. That hour on winter mornings is needed far, far more than the hour in the evening in the summer. He would have been much better to have not changed the time on March 8th and just left it alone.
I absolutely want to get rid of changing clocks every year, which is nice because BC is doing just that
Unfortunately I think BC is going permanent Daylight savings, where I would prefer permanent Standard. It's much nicer to wake up to daylight in the morning, and I don't particularly care for doing outdoor activities at 10-11pm.
Yes, as long as they go back to the standard for time zones.
My region has not.
Alberta here. Fuck yes! The premise of DST is stupid. Changing twice a year is more stupider.
Abolish it forever and move to standard time.
Also Alberta, also yes.
Danielle Smith would be less able to break things while working on it, too.
I support ending seasonal time changes. There is considerable data showing that these changes cause health issues and more workplace injuries. However, staying on daylight saving time isn't the right choice. Every jurisdiction that has tried this has been compelled to revert to seasonal adjustments. The best option is Standard Time, as it aligns most closely with solar time, which our bodies naturally follow.
Other than the poorly implemented experiment in the States, who else has reverted? Saskatchewan is (effectively) permanent daylight time, as are Argentina, Malaysia, and Singapore. Possibly there's a bunch of other countries that I don't know about as well.
The short list of clear “tried it → reversed it” cases is:
- 🇷🇺 Russia (2011–2014)
- 🇬🇧 United Kingdom (1968–1971)
- 🇺🇸 United States (1940s, 1970s experiments)
And the reason is remarkably consistent:
👉 Permanent DST sounds appealing—but winter mornings break it.
Fully support ditching the switch.
