    This is brought up twice a year every year. After 40+ years of it either do it or shut up about it.

    Yes.

    Or make it permanent. I don’t care which.

    This again.

    It won’t happen because the States won’t do it.

    Stoopid! Because it’s no longer needed! And it’s harmful.

    End it. And make it keep winter time. With the outdoors getting hotter every year, I want more time in the dark when it’s ever so slightly cooler.

      Nooooo :/ Then I have no more time to go running after work in the fall and spring :c

      Maybe we need “winter time” in the summer and “summer time” in the winter?

      (half trolling)

      Morning light is also a big health benefit. Going to permanent DST would mess people up, especially school children that would effectively start school 1h earlier.

        … So living further away from the equator is detrimental to your health? I haven’t heard of this phenomenon.

    Maybe we could reach some kind of middle ground (so permanently lose/gain a half hour instead of a whole hour)?

    If it was standard time during the summer months, Montreal sunrise would be 4:05AM and sunset at 7:45PM in June.

    If Montreal remained in DST year round, sunrise would be at 8:30AM and set at 5:15PM in December.

    If we remained on standard time, we’d have sunrise at 4:35AM and sunset at 8PM in Toronto.

    If we had DST year round, sunrise would be 8:45AM and sunset would be at 5:40PM in Toronto.

    I think Standard time sucks in the summer. And while I’d love to have more sunlight in the afternoon in the winter, I recognize that having sunrise only by 8:30-8:45AM is detrimental.

    There are no health risks. However there is a mental health benefit of not having to deal with this bullshit anymore.

    It’s handy as a litmus test for those too delicate to survive.

    If a one hour change fractures your entire fragile life then I have nothing but contempt for you.

    I don’t really care about it other than for being useful to identify whiners.

    Oh my, the fragile came out in droves for this one. It’s awesome. Blocking every single one of you as useless to the modern world. 🤣

      People say that something might be able to be improved slightly, and your response is…

      “Fuck those whiners”

        Indeed. People who can’t cope with the absolute smallest of inconveniences ever show their inability to deal with the modern world.

        Can I count you among them then?

          There’s a difference between whining and asking why are things the way they are. You sound like the whiner here tbh

      I know heart attack and stroke rates go up with daylight savings time. You have contempt for people that have heart attacks and you think you’re the reasonable one? Yeah, okay buddy.

          I know because there’s studies and rates you can look up. In spring heart attacks raise something like 24% and stroke 8% on the Monday of daylight savings. That’s a public health issue. There’s legitimate reasons to not like the change and you literally said you “have nothing but contempt” for people who are “too delicate to survive.” 🤷‍♀️
