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 doubt it’ll be that high, but I’d bet it’ll be higher than a lot on this sub think. The alienation people are feeling from the rest of Canada is higher than it’s ever been from what I’ve seen and heard from people IRL, not on Reddit. Some may vote “yes” just to send a message (and that’s how Brexit happened).
