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."
Maybe we also should talk about not needing to work so many hours that it’s necessary to ration the sun then, too.
9-5 is not too many hours. It having to be 9-5 is a bigger problem.
If this guy could work 8-4 instead, the clock choice would not matter.
ooh, maybe that’s what we should do… during the winter months when there’s less daylight we can shift our working hours, then in the summer months we can shift our working hours back. Then there’s no need to change the time!
That’s what they do in (at least part of) China.
Yes, it is.
It still kinda does though, wouldn’t you rather have an extra hour of light after you get home than have it get light after you’re at work regardless?
