@stephanie yup! @alessandro I live in Edmonton, so I get that in the wintertime. Standard time is healthier overall because it aligns the body's internal clock with the sun.
Study suggests most Americans would be healthier without daylight saving time
According to a new analysis by Stanford Medicine scientists, changing clocks twice a year disrupts circadian rhythms, leading to higher rates of stroke and obesity.

The easy and objectively correct fix is to switch to DST only and make it illegal for anybody to have to work before 9am.

OMG! Fingers crossed for NB to do the same. DST is clearly superior.
@alessandro Or we could go with Standard Time (solar time), which contains useful information like when the middle of daylight is, and if people want to work 8 to 4, let them.

@Chigaze @alessandro @josephsimons @misty yep, standard time makes sense. Long evenings in the summer when the weather is good for outdoor activities. Light mornings in the spring. I detest that DST kicks in just when we're finally getting light mornings.

@Chigaze @alessandro @cass_m @misty Totally! I'd prefer standard time over any other. For us to do daylight saving in #Alberta year round is absurd. But getting rid of time changes of any kind is a good start.

I may be reading this wrong, but DST is what gives us the long summer evenings.

@alessandro @cass_m @Chigaze @josephsimons @misty Yes, and in the winter maintaining DST would make for very dark mornings...

@alessandro @cass_m @Chigaze @misty That is how I read it too. A very late sundown, like post 10:00 PM here. But in the winter, here in #edmonton, under DST we'd have a 10:00 AM sunrise.

@alessandro summer evenings are long without DST. Right now it's light until 6 and i get to wake up to daylight. Light until 9-10 is late enough for most summer activities.
ETA - tilt of the earth as it orbits the sun gives us the long summer evenings.

@alessandro I would argue that the length of the evenings is exactly the same no matter what clock time we use. What changes with DST are standard working hours. We can get the same effect without messing with the clock by allowing more workplace flexibility in the jobs it makes sense.

@RichardNairn @alessandro @Chigaze @josephsimons @misty brutally dark mornings in winter.

@josephsimons It would mean on clock time Marmot Basin in Jasper would be opening at 10AM in mid winter.
