Another useless bill proposed by a 20 year old Dipper who's only life experience was a being ping pong player.

Can they not leave well enough alone ? I like the time change.

And how much is this costing? You know.. to paid consultants (friends of a politician)

Eliminating the time change is the only thing the NDP may do that I agree with.

is that because it's so important?:thinking-006: i know I for one wake up each morning and hope that they don't mess with the time change. Think what it would mean to the thousands unemployed
:thinking-006:

Did I say it was important?
I said this is the one thing the NDP propose that I agree with.

You forgot one thing... :thinking-006:
Maybe two... :sHa_sarcasticlol:


:sHa_shakeshout:

Although i'll use emoticons sometimes I really find these ones annoying and childish. Oh well...

I agree get rid of the time change...absolutely useless

Hate it. Back when communication was only telephone it had some marginal value. Now there is none.

I hope they get rid of it. It will be their legacy from the only time they'll ever be in power in AB.

Just did the survey, they're sending the clock the wrong way. I'm agin it.

Legislative committee decides Albertans should keep changing clocks twice yearly

Agree with you for now on this topic.

Heard that 27 states have a bill on the table to eliminate the changing of the clocks. If we could get a mass agreement that everyone in North America eliminates DST then it would make perfect sense to follow along.

We're like Saskatchewan most of the year, no need to be like those combine jockeys all year round. DST doesn't effect curling and farming like it does the rest of us.:scared0018::scared0018:

How does it "affect" you?

No the farmers in Saskatchewan did not want daylight savings time because the extra hour of sun would have burned the crops.

There was an up side with the removal, with a 9:30 sunrise in the winter it would have made making the morning bite an hour easier.

I have to change my clocks twice a year! Saskatchewanites don't.

BW

Glad they killed it , Not really worlds first problem by changing the clock 2x a year.

But apparently, 'Some' people just can't handle it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4EUTMPuvHo. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Yup, our work days should revolve around two things...sun rise and sun set...:scared0018:

Glad they didnt change it. A 2 hour time change between Alberta and BC would ruin winter fun times.

don't call it dead yet. even after an all party committee unanimously said "bad idea, stay with daylight savings" Nothead came on the news yesterday and said because the majority of albertans from her Survey say "change", the bill WILL be tabled, debated, and voted on.

the thing i cant understand is what lobby group is wanting her to do this? who benefits by changing? does anybody have nay ideas?

Time change isn't a big deal its just pointless and should be abolished like the old "No Sunday Hunting". Its just one of the things gov't should do and as far as I have heard they NDP aren't planning on this being their only priority. People can address more than on issue at a time *gasp* The majority is for getting rid of it and in a democracy I thinks its great they are still holding a vote. Certainly the majority of people I talk to want it gone and are fine with this getting some attention. There will be some minor adjustment one time then we can say goodbye to clock changing forever and more importantly have more light on winters evenings. if people aren't forced by darkness into watching a sub par hockey game then sobeit. Love it. Not going to be long before every jurisdiction follows suit. Yeeehaw

...would be better if it were done on a Canada wide initiative however. AB should invite other provinces to follow suit. Get the discussion rolling right across the country.

great idea. get all of north america on board and you'll be getting some where.

problem is with your suggestion is that instead of dealing with time changes going east to to west, you would now need to do it going north and south, as we follow the same daylight changes as the US.

there was a major reason why West Jet said they would pull their flight scheduling headquarters out of Alberta if this happens.

I agree they should have left well enough alone. We should go back to one time zone year round like it used to be.

Referendum to Decide
 

I have my doubts if the majority of Albertans are in favour of getting rid of daylight saving time. One shouldn't believe to much of what politician do say. When cornered they all like to say "We have consulted with the people and this is what they want". This of course being one of their favourite lies to the people.

Only a referendum will determine what Albertans want. No better time is when the next provincial election is held. There will then be an honest majority one way or the other. In favour of DST will most likely be the result.

The 1971 referendum was 62% in favour on going with DST.

I think that the NDP now know that to make changes without a referendum would hurt them even further at the next election.
