@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)?

Other than the poorly implemented experiment in the States, who else has reverted? Saskatchewan is (effectively) permanent daylight time, as are Argentina, Malaysia, and Singapore. Possibly there's a bunch of other countries that I don't know about as well.

    The short list of clear “tried it → reversed it” cases is:

    • 🇷🇺 Russia (2011–2014)
    • 🇬🇧 United Kingdom (1968–1971)
    • 🇺🇸 United States (1940s, 1970s experiments)

    And the reason is remarkably consistent:

    👉 Permanent DST sounds appealing—but winter mornings break it.
