More Daylight!
U.S. moves to extend daylight time
Canada could be left out in the dark unless it follows an American plan to extend daylight time by two months.
The U.S. Congress on Tuesday adopted the provision, which is part of a sweeping new energy plan. It would mean people would turn their clocks forward one hour on the first weekend of March and "fall back" on the final weekend in November.
Currently in Canada and the U.S., daylight time runs from April through October. The exception in Canada is Saskatchewan, which keeps its clocks the same throughout the year.
Congress believes the extension would trim energy costs by cutting the need for artificial light in the evenings. [more]
I think this is a fabulous idea. More daytime light is a welcome addition in my books. You save energy, children will be relatively safer outside longer and well, who really likes living in the dark at 5pm?
