@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)?

Ontario already has legislation for this, but it's tied to I think New York and Quebec doing the same

    Quebec hasn't passed legislation, but they've agreed in theory to do it if Ontario and New York also do it.

    So we're pretty much just waiting on New York.

    @prodigalsorcerer @tooclose104 that’s what BC was saying for a while. That they had to wait for the states in the Western US to do it. But eventually BC just pulled the trigger and did it without them

    Yeah, I don't have much hope of it happening in Ontario with our current government. It seems too difficult to use in a way that enriches him or his buddies. Best we can hope for is it happening right before the next election in hopes that we ignore all the corruption and just think "hey, buck a beer! $200 cheques! no more time change!"
