Regarding this screwing around with the clock thing, I'm all for compromise. Set it half way between daylight savings time and daylight losing time, and leave it there. Why must we insist on jerking our sleeping habits around twice a year? Humans come up with the most ridiculous stupid nonsense sometimes!
I said that very same thing. Saskatchewan does not adjust their time. Must be some level-headed folks in Saskatchewan.

Pretty much everything in Saskatchewan is level.
I see what you did there ... lol
That's because you can see a long way in Saskatchewan.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
I think this spring, instead of setting my clocks forward I will set them back like I just did for this fall. And then next fall I'll set them back another hour and the same in the spring and the same the next fall etc., etc. Depending on how long I live, I will be adding hours to my life!
And then I'll patent the idea and market it as "The Time Fountain of Youth".

Speaking of alarm clocks... does anyone still actually use a dedicated alarm clock to wake up in the morning, or is everyone using their phone now? I swear I'm the only one I know with an actual alarm clock on the bedside table.
I use both. My phone alarm is the first to wake me with quiet, gentle alarms. Then my clock radio that I've had for decades comes on and blasts me into consciousness. I try to get up before the clock radio but sometimes it's the only thing that wakes me.

i still have mine and use it (well i try to, I tend to wake u before my alarm goes off). I usually put my phone in the other room and on vibrate.

The clocks have nothing to do with it with me wanting to end this silly practice. It also messes with peoples sleep. As for the clocks, you obviously never worked in a school.

I still use my trusty Sony clock radio - I bought it around 1998.

I love falling back so much that it makes springing forward worth it. It definitely has an effect on my sleep either way. I do NOT support getting rid of it at all unless everyone else does too. I think it's really stupid to go on a different schedule than most of the rest of the world. I don't even know why any politician would think doing such a thing would be beneficial or useful. All it would really do is cause a bunch of inconveniences for businesses and individuals.

Doesn't effect my sleep at all, doesn't effect my toddler either. Supposedly it effects children very much, I don't buy it. I think 90% of the complaints are just people whining because that's what people do.

Yep. Unless you go to bed super late or need an alarm to wake up on Sunday, you don’t lose any sleep at all. You sleep the same amount of time, it’s just a different time when you wake up. I never understood the whole losing/gaining sleep argument.

Just another excuse for weak whiners to whine about their weaknesses.

Well, BC is considering it ...
Yes, but only if the entire west coast does it too. Horgan said he'd only go ahead if Washington, Oregon, and California were also on board, and asked the governors of all three states to keep him updated on their status with it - they're trying to do it as a group, if they do it at all .... Typical for John Horgan. He is a practical, common sense guy - probably the best BC premier of my lifetime so far (obviously not just because of this, lol). And he is very tuned in to the west coast US states, particularly Washington. He knows we have to work together. Other past premiers haven't considered that factor anywhere near as thoughtfully.

No, it's just a stupid archaic practice that has zero bearing on the present population.
I personally am not a fan of it being dark at 430 PM. I am a fan of it being dark at 630 AM though.
