Why are we still doing this? Stupid and unnecessary. Just get rid of it already.

The short answer is: Because the Northern states that we share a land border with currently observe Daylight Saving Time and we've been waiting literally years for the States to figure their shit out.

Of all the stupid reasons, of course it's because we have to copy america.

I'm so ready for this to end. Stop the madness already!

It's the best part of Saskatchewan.

To be fair, though, we just went to DST and never went back. At my longitude, solar noon is about 1:25 "pm". The people of SK aren't early risers, we just set our clocks so late that it looks that way.

There are people around me who think we should do DST, thinking we'll use our current time as the base, thus being double-DST. Madness.

If someone wants to get up earlier, I'm fine with that. But don't do it by trying to trick yourself by resetting the clocks.

We are about to complete our dark bargain.

This is the only DST shit I can get behind. I get I'm not really getting a bonus hour of sleep (or hobby time), but dammit, it sure feels like it! And my body adjusts do much better to this.

It's that stupid shit in the spring when we lose an hour that fucks me over for MONTHS. It's not worth the "bonus" hour I get back later.
