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."

    Summer would be the same as it now. It’s only winter where we’d have daylight starting later and ending later.

      Winter is the astrolog astronomically correct accurate time. When we change our clocks in March, that’s an hour away from accurate.

        Astrologically correct accurate time? What does that mean?

          The sun is Earth’s nearest astrolog astronomical glowing ball of gas from which we get light and base our measurement of time, also taking into calculation the Earth’s rotation on its axis.

            I have heard of the sun.

            What makes 7am a correct sunrise, or 6am, or any other time?

            A 6am sunrise in New York is not going to be a 6am sunrise in Iceland, even with time zones in place.

            A 6am sunrise in December is not going to be a 6am sunrise in may… so how would you determine what is ‘astrologically correct’

            Also… I am going to just assume you mean astronomical and not astrological, because astrology is bullshit.

              Oh you’re right, sorry, I meant astronomical. I will go fix that.

              Anyway I’m not the one who made the decision that the winter clock time is the astronomically correct time. Someone else hundreds/thousands of years ago made that decision and the knowledge has been passed down and it’s in my head.
