And to the Canadian Business Council, BC Chamber, and everyone else freaking out about setting a permanent time, fuck off
Time zones are an arbitrary concept anyway, originally set to synch railways, so oligarchs created them
It will be interesting though if the western coastal states force congress to follow - Canada leads

@MatWright Just a reminder, when Canadians fought for maternity leave, Canadian Federation of Independent business argued working women shouldn't have babies.
Failed to recognize the obvious that one can't have a baby and work (and thus pay) at the same time. Business leaders are the smartest?
"John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said:
Paid maternity leave is a totally ridiculous kind of demand to expect employers to pay. Those who want to have babies should pay for them."

By Doug Nesbitt On June 29, 1981, some 23,000 inside postal workers began what would become a long 42-day strike. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) stayed out and won 17 weeks of paid maternity leave at 93% of full wages. CUPW's breakthrough agreement sets a standard for other unions
