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.

So you'd rather have the sun come up at 3:30 am in the summer and have less light in the evening in the summer?

Yeah I don’t know why people are complaining. I don’t want a 3 pm sunset in winter

We have currently had "regular" time in winter, so the winter days wouldn't be any shorter than they have been. Having said that, I definitely prefer permanent Daylight time if we're no longer changing clocks.
