Daylight saving: should it stay or should it go'

In answer to the headline question... go.

I say keep. Who wants to get up an hour earlier in the summer to enjoy that extra sunshine. Fuck that, I won't even get up early to go fishing! Find a better spot.

Go.

An archaic practice that's no longer relevant today. If they were really concerned about people they'd leave the time alone since when ever you deprive people of sleep, even an hours worth there's a spike in traffic accidents.

I think it should remain, but only in the evenings when people can enjoy it, get rid of it in the morning though, I'm with herbie, I just can't see myself getting up an hour earlier in the morning for an extra hour of sunshine even if I were to go fishing....

Leave it on the "long days". It's freakin' depressing in winter when it's almost dark at 4:30pm.

What makes people think that when you cut the top of a blanket and sew it on the bottom, you get a longer blanket??

Go with that nonsense.

We only get the white poppy thread once a year... we have to live through this one twice.

Stay - as in permanent daylight savings time. It would be nice to have an extra hour of daylight in the winter evenings, in the summer it doesn't matter either way.

While making it permanent year round will provide more sunlight in the winter afternoons it also means sun rise will not happen to 9 AM or later. In the end we will copy the Americans. When they added an extra 2 weeks in the spring and fall it did not make any sense for us, but it did impact US anticipated power usage. There was a big lobby to match the US due to trade. The lobby was mostly in Ontario as they could not mentally adjust to the customer base being an hour different for two weeks twice a year. They should live with Saskatchewan for awhile and then it would not be such an issue.

Keep things as they are. Mind you, I have an ulterior motive, I play golf in the summer evenings and need the extra hour.

Pet peeve # 28...

Old farts who can't stand a little change in their routine every 6 months


: Besides, how will you know when to change the batteries in your smoke alarm if we don't have DST.

I vote stay, it screams SPRING!!!

Go I hate the switch in the spring, it really sucks.
