The evidence shows that time change is bad for our health and that we should maintain permanent standard time.

Eastern has about 45 min later daylight, western has 45 min earlier sunrise.

I mean in Vancuver BC longest summer, official daylight is 5:05am, but twilight is 4:23am. Toronto daylight in longest summer day starts about 5:35 (twilight at 5am) The twilight here is super bright. East coast gets more daylight in winter I think

The eastern part of a time zone has earlier sunrise/sunset than the western part of that same time zone. A little past Detroit would have Vancouver times.

Maybe winter, but if you check longest Sumner day as a common point, Vancouver has earlier sunrise by 25-30 minutes, and earlier twilight by 40…compared to detroit. I have lived in both areas . It is also not just about the time zone positions laterally because the sun shadow is at an angle compared to longitude due to precession angle I assume. If you lookup sunshadow animations you will see what I mean.
