'There are enormous health and economic benefits to making daylight saving time permanent'
There doesn't seem to be much middle ground when it comes to daylight saving time...people love it or hate it.
Raymond Lam, a University of British Columbia professor and B.C. leadership chair in depression research, said circadian scientists, sleep researchers and clinicians generally agree that a permanent move to standard time would be preferred. The bill passed with unanimous support and would have the province on permanent daylight time. Quebec Premier François Legault suggested he wasn't opposed but said the matter wasn't a priority, and no one else has taken up Roberts' cause in the Ontario legislature since he was voted out of office.
The bill still needs to be passed by the House of Representatives before President Joe Biden can sign off on it, but it may have received new life with Republicans controlling the House. If the federal bill gets through, that would allow U.S. states to enact their own changes, which would trigger changes in Canada.
That's because standard time is more in line with our natural circadian rhythm and internal biological clock, they said. "We've never had that experience in Canada of waking up on permanent daylight time in the winter, so people think it's not going to be so bad until they try it," he said.
