... do you object to the turning back of the clock one hour every november? i do!
... the fall/winter season is bad enough without having this disruptive time change forced upon us. unfortunately, i don't believe our government is capable of correcting this and it'll take a REVOLUTION for the time to ever be properly stabilized ...
... please share your thoughts on the time change!
Hi sharky
The fall "change" Is not a change. It is simply reverting back to actual time
This correct time is altered for the summer
However, I like the idea of REVOLUTION. Let me know when any are scheduled
The time change is a pain in the arse when you have kids.
I think we should stay the same in summer. It's irritating.
I'm in to revolt!
... thank you for your comments! and whose idea was it to set the time back a whole hour? why not a shorter interval like five minutes or something?
Here's an article on it: http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/c.html
I hate it, it's a stupid hour damn it
... argh, the tyranny! do you think prime minister trudeau would ever take action on this?
It's really messed up my sleeping pattern even more than it already was messed :t1929:
I don't object to daylight savings because in Saskatchewan we don't observe it. Take that you high altitude Albertans and British Columbians. :tease:
I remember when I was working as a gynaecologist I would drive to work in the dark and when I went home it was dark, just hated it I never seen the sun.

Whaat? you were a gynacologist?
I like the fall back, but the spring forward....
I prefer the current and correct time. That daylite until 8:00pm crap during the summer is for the birds. I would much rather have it dark at the proper time. That being said, I really dislike the hassle of the time change.

... that's what i thought, Herman. bravo to saskatchewan for that! BC should take your province's lead and do the same ...
Funny that Sask doesn't do it. This all started to give farmers an extra hour to work during growing / harvesting seasons

... yeah! good point, ceece!

This is actually a very common misconception. Farmers apparently HATE daylight saving time.
Germany was the first country to implement DST. Clocks there were first turned forward at 11:00 p.m. (23:00) on April 30, 1916. The rationale was to minimize the use of artificial lighting in order to save fuel for the war effort during World War I. The idea was quickly followed by Britain and many other countries, including the United States. Many countries reverted back to standard time after World War I. It wasn't until the next World War that DST made its return in many countries in order to save vital energy resources for the war.
The U.S. Congress extended DST to a period of ten months in 1974 and eight months in 1975, in hopes to save energy following the 1973 oil embargo. The trial period showed that DST saved the energy equivalent of 10,000 barrels of oil each day, but DST still proved to be controversial. Many complained that the dark winter mornings endangered the lives of children going to school.

Everybody should follow Saskatchewan's example. Now that the NDP is gutting Alberta's economy, we are now the jobs dynamo of the nation. :yahoo:
When I had young children, more daylight hours in the summer was welcome. Those young children are a little older now. Still, more daylight hours in the summer will always be welcome to me.
