And it doesn't really make it easier for travellers, easier. Right now, if you're flying to another city, you just change your watch to the time that the flight attendant tells you when you get off the plane, and you're set: businesses still open at 9:00 local time, restaurants switch to their supper menu at around 17:00. But under the one time-zone proposal, you fly to, say Toronto, and every time you look at your watch you need to make an adjustment in your mind. Banks don't open at 15:00, as they do in Calgary, they open at 13:00. It'll take you days just to get used to this new schedule.
