BC will move to permanent daytime time

crazy how much of a hit you take for the loss of just an hour. smh...
i was late for first time in 6 yrs i normally work the night before this i have an alarm and been getting up 4 am for years not sure how or why this was any different i woke up at 7:14 am shift starts 7:15 >< made it work by 7:21 fully dressed didnt forget anything still sting my unblemished record gone.
 
I really hope that we can just stay like this in Alberta. I hate the switch and frankly don't care about a tiny bit of light in the morning. I mean we are doing nothing with it, just getting ready for work/school and driving. Give me light at the end of the day, at least that I get to see and enjoy.

Also, we are already spending 8 months of the year on daylight savings time, staying on it, only means an adjustment for 4 months. Plus if we were on perm standard the sun would be rising at like 4am in June in Edmonton. Nobody needs light at that hour and the vast majority are going to just sleep through it.

Here are sunrise/sunset times for Edmonton for both standard and daylight savings

So you guys already have December where the sunrise isn't until ~9AM, so kids get to school fine in the dark?

Ontario, the "latest" sunrise is ~8AM in December, so most people here say kids won't be able to walk to school in the dark if it was instead ~9AM.
