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."
So uhh… which is it?
I want the current time (DST) forever and will sign accordinly
It was the latter. Op seems to have updated their post accordingly.
Standard time is sometimes referred to as “winter time” or “normal time”, while daylight savings time (DST) may also be called summer time, especially in the UK.
More than 60% of the countries in the world use standard time all year.
The remaining countries use DST during the summer months, generally setting clocks forward one hour from standard time.
Canada is divided into six time zones. Most areas of the country’s provinces and territories operate on standard time from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March and daylight saving time the rest of the year.
In the regions of Canada that use daylight saving time, it begins on the second Sunday of March at 2 a.m. and ends on the first Sunday in November at 2 a.m. As a result, daylight saving time lasts in Canada for a total of 34 weeks (238 days) every year.
You wrote all that out and it doesn’t even answer his question.
Really doubt they wrote it.
