    As opposed to 4 am? Who cares at that point

      I am also a fan of permanent DST as it would give more evening light in the winter, but would begrudgingly accept permanent standard time as it’s still better than the clock-switching we do now

        Standard time is better for the health of the population, especially in teens. There’s a ton of research on the subject.

          But standard time gives different hours based on your lat/long position. Eastern has about 45 min later daylight, western has 45 min earlier sunrise. So one standard doesn’t give all provinces the same daylight range, it is shifted

              I mean in Vancuver BC longest summer, official daylight is 5:05am, but twilight is 4:23am. Toronto daylight in longest summer day starts about 5:35 (twilight at 5am) The twilight here is super bright. East coast gets more daylight in winter I think
