Ontario to Match U.S. DST Change

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wrapped-around-our-finger dept.

Devastator writes "CBC is reporting that Ontario will be the first Canadian province to change daylight savings rules to reflect the changes happening in the U.S in 2007. Attorney General Michael Bryant says 'the province's economy was the deciding factor and that if Ontario isn't on the same time as the United States, it will be hurt financially.'"

    In Canada, currently the province of Saskatchewan doesn't observe it.

    Haha, funny, like there's _really_ a province called "Saskatchewan." That's hilarious. The last joke province name I heard was something like "Nunavut."

    Canadians obviously have the best sense of humour. ;)

    What is even dumber is whole "clocks changing" half the year standard time, half the year daylight savings time. It makes little sense today.

    In other news, the World Will End At Midnight..... 12:30 in Newfoundland.
