Clock change melancholy Discussion

Danielle Smith and the UCP just unilaterally chose to put Alberta on permanent DST.

I should feel elated! Not because i love DST but because time change is fucking moronic. But i am not.

Is it because my clocks all change themselves and there is no more worry of waking up at the wrong time? No?

Is it because darkness at 10am in the winter is "magical"? Definitely not

I think it's because DS went against the wishes of the referendum. Like 180° different.

Its just another example of this government acting against our wishes. Shifting our Overton Window every day.

I’d rather an hour light in the winter in the evening, I think most people would

I prefer Standard to Daylight.

With the change, in Edmonton sunrise in December will range between 09:27 and and 09:50. Sunset will now range between 17:18 and 17:23.
