@canada Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?If yes, what would you prefer: year round daylight savings time (an extra hour of sunlight in the evening) or standard time (an extra hour of sunlight in the morning)?

The fact that clock noon is actually within a half hour of solar noon, and not a whole hour and a bit off.

Kelowna varies from being less than 2 minutes off of solar noon to about 11 minutes off at the most. Now it’s going to be permanently an entire hour-plus off.

Why call it noon if it isn’t actually noon?
