Default Daylight saving time? Have your say online.

Quote:
Albertans are being asked for their input on ending the twice yearly ritual of changing the clocks.

The head of the legislature's Standing Committee on Alberta's Economic Future says this could have an impact on the entire province.

"It is important for this committee to hear from as many people as possible about Bill 203," said Graham Sucha, MLA for Calgary-Shaw.

If passed, Bill 203 would repeal the Daylight Saving Time Act and replace it with Alberta Standard Time.

Alberta would then remain on Mountain Daylight Time year round.

It would take effect on Nov. 2, 2018.

Albertans can submit opinions online. The deadline for submissions is July 28.

In April, the NDP MLA behind the bill, Thomas Dang, said 82 per cent of nearly 26,000 respondents to a survey he conducted said they wanted to end daylight saving time.

Default Ndp

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.

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

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

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