Join the petition to ask the Canadian government to adopt Standard Time all year round.
"Changing clocks twice a year is hazardous to your health. There are many studies showing that changing the clock and staying on Daylight Saving Time negatively impacts our circadian rhythm, causes increases in strokes and heart attacks, impacts people with depression and seasonal affective disorder and causes more car accidents.
I ask the Canadian Government to finally stop Daylight Saving Time and enact Permanent Standard Time. Even if one person is saved from having a stroke or heart attack or is saved from a car accident, it’s worth it. Support the health and safety of Canadians and set an example for the rest of the world.
Follow the scientific research. Do the right thing and not just the easy and uninformed thing. Don’t change the clocks. Leave them on Standard Time year round. Do not spring forward."
Jeebus, the things people get worked up about.
Found the person who isn’t a programmer
Yah, every programmer gives a shit about DST. Literally all of them.
Lol, you have no freaking clue how many trivial seeming issues stem from DST. Summed up throughout my career I think I’ve spent several months of solid work time hunting down and fixing DST related issues.
And ya, every programmer shudders at DST
