This is brought up twice a year every year. After 40+ years of it either do it or shut up about it.

Yes, let's do it, let's end it finally!
Yes.
Or make it permanent. I don't care which.
Yes.
Yes it is.
This again.
It won't happen because the States won't do it.
Stoopid! Because it's no longer needed! And it's harmful.
If SK can stop fiddling with clocks twice a year, other provinces can do it too.
If it was standard time during the summer months, Montreal sunrise would be 4:05AM and sunset at 7:45PM in June.
If Montreal remained in DST year round, sunrise would be at 8:30AM and set at 5:15PM in December.
If we remained on standard time, we'd have sunrise at 4:35AM and sunset at 8PM in Toronto.
If we had DST year round, sunrise would be 8:45AM and sunset would be at 5:40PM in Toronto.
I think Standard time sucks in the summer. And while I'd love to have more sunlight in the afternoon in the winter, I recognize that having sunrise only by 8:30-8:45AM is detrimental.
