Ham fisted decision - typical hack move. It astounds me that after about 100 years, it now has to be eliminated. Reasons vary and what is interesting to me is the sleep and body clock and stress caused by changing the clocks twice a year is having on society. Why would changing the clock twice a year be such a stressful thing? We travel and travel all over the globe and over one, two or 5 time zones and are OK with that yet changing clocks twice a year is such a health issue?

And now parents will have to get their kids up in the dark to get to school. Unless I've got my forward/backward mixed up... Me - I don't care either way.

But of course you never let the fact you know nothing hold you back from having an opinion Changing times has been associated with higher crash rates higher pedestrian accidents, higher fatigue and a host of other problems changing times in fall associated with accidents - Google Search While there are some pro's and cons to sticking with standard or daylight, there's NO doubt that there's HUGE benefit to picking one and sticking with it. And these studies are everywhere, they're easy to find. Why do you insist on being so stupid? 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

People literally die, this what the reports and studies say. Estimated number of deaths due to Daylight Savings Time Changes British Columbia - Google Search Key Findings on Health and Safety Impacts: Cardiac Events: Studies show a spike in heart attacks and strokes in the days immediately following the spring change due to sleep disruption and circadian rhythm misalignment. Fatal Accidents: A 30% increase in fatal car accidents was found on the Monday following the spring change. Workplace Injuries: Research indicates a 5.7% increase in workplace injuries and a 67.6% increase in work days lost to injuries on the Monday after the spring change. Pedestrian Fatalities: Evidence suggests that switching back to standard time in the fall (i.e., having it darker earlier) dramatically increases pedestrian fatalities, notes the If you're going to try and sell the idea that dozens of deaths is trivial that would make you a horrible person. I don't know why you decided to admit that you were a complete scumbag who doesn't care if people die but here we are. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

Sure it's the weekend but it's like 1 pm when you wrote that. In any case, nobody runs around pretending they heard anything on the internet, they can provide links to things they've seen and it can be reviewed and fact checked, but YOU have these imaginary callers who none of us can see or hear and they were always conveniently on the radio 'Just today' to say something that supports your claim. We call that lying here in the real world. It's painfully obvious it's not true. You want to quote someone like "on Thursday's vassey kapelos show in the last segment they said...." that's fine. At least people can go listen to that. And others may have heard it But your make believe shit is nothing more than the voices in your head. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

In any case AI tells me the Mayo clinic studied some 36 million patients and concluded there's next to nothing to be concerned about. It seems to me the remaining issues people might have are economic in nature. That said I doubt DST ever had greater effect on my circadian rhythm than fishing or logging, but especially fishing. Way back in the day if you lived on the South coast and wanted to maximize your daylight hours you ran up to Alaska where you really couldn't tell the difference between dawn and dusk. Even then I still recall more than a few 24 - 36 hr stints on deck where dusk is hours behind you as far as dawn is ahead. It takes a moment or so to remember what circadian means after about 28 hours. Everything's measured by...'here comes the next snap or trap'. 1 Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal

That's in the states. Completely different sunrise and sunset times. Soooooo Once again the AI may be intelligent but you aren't. Quote It seems to me the remaining issues people might have are economic in nature. but you already screwed up everything you've said so far so it's probably not worth bothering with what you think. You called dozens of people dying due to a lack of emerg rooms in bc a 'Mere handful" so..... The fact is we're safer without the change, people don't want the change, and the province is better without the change. And you're still a liar with no grasp of the facts and that never seems to change. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

Sad truth i'm afraid, basically those deaths in bc were of no meaning to you. A 'handful." ANd that's in keeping with your general position on things. The israeli children who died on oct 7 had it coming, the palestinians were "exercising their human right to fight back against "oppression" and kill innocents". But the Palestinian children who died because hamas hid behind them,... well that's a REAL loss and all israels fault. Now it's like "so what if a bunch of people die due to time changes?"
