    I am also a fan of permanent DST as it would give more evening light in the winter, but would begrudgingly accept permanent standard time as it’s still better than the clock-switching we do now

      Standard time is better for the health of the population, especially in teens. There’s a ton of research on the subject.

        But standard time gives different hours based on your lat/long position. Eastern has about 45 min later daylight, western has 45 min earlier sunrise. So one standard doesn’t give all provinces the same daylight range, it is shifted

            I mean in Vancuver BC longest summer, official daylight is 5:05am, but twilight is 4:23am. Toronto daylight in longest summer day starts about 5:35 (twilight at 5am) The twilight here is super bright. East coast gets more daylight in winter I think

              The eastern part of a time zone has earlier sunrise/sunset than the western part of that same time zone. A little past Detroit would have Vancouver times.
