Stop Daylight Saving Time in Canada

Join the petition to ask the Canadian government to adopt Standard Time all year round.

"Changing clocks twice a year is hazardous to your health.  There are many studies showing that changing the clock and staying on Daylight Saving Time negatively impacts our circadian rhythm, causes increases in strokes and heart attacks, impacts people with depression and seasonal affective disorder and causes more car accidents.

I ask the Canadian Government to finally stop Daylight Saving Time and enact Permanent Standard Time. Even if one person is saved from having a stroke or heart attack or is saved from a car accident, it’s worth it.  Support the health and safety of Canadians and set an example for the rest of the world.

Follow the scientific research. Do the right thing and not just the easy and uninformed thing.  Don’t change the clocks. Leave them on Standard Time year round. Do not spring forward."

Don’t be picky.

Nah, I’ll be picky because this shit fucks me up for months. Going back the other way messes me up for a much shorter time.

Fucking normies and their daytime schedules lol. Us night walkers get no respect 😂

I can’t relate, since we don’t change the clocks ever in Saskatchewan. I always considered it rather dumb that most of NA does.

It used to mess up my tv shows as a kid, now that was annoying.

Regardless, it would be a once time thing and over with, so really a non-issue in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, I’ve never understood it either. I think right now those of us stuck messing with clocks are in the “fake” time though, aren’t we?

Can’t help you there without looking it up myself.
