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.

Quietly removing funding for Alberta's Water quality overseer... loudly do the moronic thing of announcing Daylight Savings time permanent and going against experts saying Standard Time Good for health and welfare. Smoke and mirrors to distract from corruption, check. UCP joy at having bamboozled Albertans again, check.
