@canada Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?

If yes, what would you prefer: year round daylight savings time (an extra hour of sunlight in the evening) or standard time (an extra hour of sunlight in the morning)?

Yes. Please keep it at standard time. Keep noon at noon.

In BC we are now on permanent daylight savings. Gives us a winter dark around 4:30 instead of 3:30

[–] castle88@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Also in BC. We should have gone with permanent Standard time imo.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

Why? You want 3;:30 sunrise starting? I prefer the 4:30am start, and daylight in the winter near end of day

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Same here. Wish they put it to referendum, no idea why they went with daylight savings.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why would you want sunrise at 330 in the summer?

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Why not? Wake up naturally with no alarm clock at like 6am ready to take on the day and feeling refreshed. Sunlight pouring through the windows as you drink your coffee and get showered.

I would rather have a ton of sunlight in the morning then late in the evening.

You can do the same with 430am sunlight though.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago

We get that already with 4:30am sun starting, no need for 3:30am
