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."

I want more sunlight in the evening for my activities after my 9-5 job!

What's the fucking point of having sunlight at 5am if I'm fucking sleeping?

Maybe we also should talk about not needing to work so many hours that it's necessary to ration the sun then, too.

9-5 is not too many hours. It having to be 9-5 is a bigger problem.

If this guy could work 8-4 instead, the clock choice would not matter.

9-5 is not too many hours.

Yes, it is.
