Maybe the drivers forgot to turn their lights on an hour earlier in the morning?

It is sleep deprivation not the darkness. Common sense should prevail but doesn’t appear to be. Lol

If one less an hour sleep one day out of 365 days/year effects your driving abilities, you should probably stop driving....
FYI, I am just having fun with you guys and mean no harm....I respect all opinions and everyone feels the time change in there own way...

If your body take two weeks to adjust then it is 1 hour less per day for two weeks. That’s 14% less sleep for two weeks. Regardless I did not say it affects my ability. I said that’s the statistic.

I voted to get rid of the time change. Only reason is I moved to Alberta from Saskatchewan a little over a year ago. I lived 36 years in a no time change province and I turned out alright. At least I think I did.

"..After the War ended, the law proved so unpopular (mostly because people rose earlier
and went to bed earlier than people do today) that it was repealed in 1919.."

Summer hours FTW! You can get stuff done after work. Driving in the dark regardless in the am so having the extra hour of light after work is by far the best option. Those who work outside. You already have lights so they run in the morning big deal.

Options provided in the public engagement survey:
1) No change, keep switching clocks twice a year.
2) Adopt year-round daylight savings time ("summer hours")
Option not provided in the survey:
3) Adopt year-round standard time ("winter hours")
The only options on the Alberta engagement page are (1) and (2). Option (2) is the same one that BC is considering. However, most biologists and psychologists that study the topic agree that more morning sun is healthier. In short, their studies find that waking up around the same time as sunrise is best/healthiest, and therefore option (3) should be the one we adopt.
Unfortunately, with a flawed survey like this, many of the results of people that want to get rid of changing clocks twice/year will just pick option 2 (no more changing!), but not really understand that there's a difference between option 2 & 3.
Here's a good article on the subject:
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opin...time-all-year/
Quote from the article:

Option 3 would be the wrong choice based on your comments re morning sun is healthier and that waking up at sunrise is the best choice. Do you know what time sunrise is on the 21st of Jun in Calgary? 0521 is the answer and that answer is based on DST. If we stayed on ST then sunrise would be 0421. Who wants 0421 to be their wake up time? Crickets....
So that being the case, you would be sleeping during the healthiest the of the day. Therefore moving the time (sun) into the most productive part of the day is the right thing to do. Standard time all year is the least favourable option and maybe that is why it is not included as an option.

Extra hour of daylight? Extra hour of sleep? Extra hour of hunting?
Guess legalizing cannabis is now taking affect.

I Get a kick out of some of the comments and how a 1 hr time change is so tramatic on some peoples lives, I worked in central asia for 14 years, rotational 28 days in and 28 days out and every 28 days my time change was either 12 hrs or 14 hrs depending if I was in Kyrgyzstan or in Mongolia, thats hard on the body, but 1 hr seriously.
Anyway if I had my choice we would stay on DST year round, love the long evenings in the summer

That is the snowflake age right now...Complain about every little thing and we have our Government wasting time debate a useless issue when we have more national problems to contend with....How about the purple idiot we have here in Calgary looking at a 30-40KM limit in residential areas? Who is going to police these streets when they have people texting all the time....

Option D: Make up your own personal time zone! Then you can never be too early or too late.
In reality I chose to stick with the summer hours year round. Its ridiculous having darkness at 4:45

I would like to stay 1 hour behind sask and 1 hour ahead of B.C. for 365 days a year.

As my preferred option wasn’t given as an option, I had to pass on this one.
I’d love to see the same interest in my say when it comes to other matters too, though:
1. Should we start following the constitution to the letter?
2. Should we start our own pension fund?
3. Should we allow for competition in health care?
4. Should we legislate the right to self defence?
Etc. Etc.

I voted to drop the clock changes. I think they are silly.
I also wrote to the goberment saying there should have been a third option.
I would prefer mountain standard time year round.
I hear the reasons people give for wanting the time change, It doesn't compute in my mind.
There is no reason why emplyers can't adapt to make the new system work better for thier emplyees. It may even be to thier advantage.
Most people are more productive early in the day. If moving the work shedual back an hour takes advantage of this, wouldn't it be smart of a business to do that?

Hey don't try to convince him. The way it is he couldn't live up north.
Sunrise in High Level is at 3:30 am on June 21 and it sets at 10:00pm. Better still he couldn't work up here in December, we only have 6 1/2 hours of daylight on December 21
He'd be going to work in the dark and going home in the dark.
And that's part of why daylight svings time doesn't make sense. It only works for the southern half of the province. If it works at all.
