Stephen Harper: Eliminate Daylight Savings Time in Canada
Stephen Harper: Eliminate Daylight Savings Time in Canada
The Issue
Daylight Savings Time is an archaic practice in our modern society.
The time change messes with your world, that of young children, and most household pets for two plus weeks a year with zero benefit.
It's already cold in Canada, why mess with our clocks too? Studies have shown that changing the clocks is responsible for health problems (including increased heart attack and vehicular accident risks) and leads to hundreds of thousands of hours of lost productivity in workplaces across the country. Also: It's really annoying.
We should either eliminate DST or make it the year-round standard time for the whole country.
