For the second part, I mostly agree but it isn’t the questions fault. You can’t put all of the info needed to make an informed decision into the question. That’s up to the voter. And the average voter just isn’t going to do any research. They’re going to vote emotionally and without logic. They think “oh I don’t like losing an hour in the spring so let’s scrap it” without thinking of the implications on day to day life, family, sports, business etc.
That’s the fault of our incompetent provincial government. They get paid to make informed decisions and weigh all the options that your average emotional voter won’t consider. That’s why this is such a bad move to make it a province wide referendum.

On the other hand voting for not switching is a reasonable position given the health cost of switching. Car accidents increase and heart attacks increase after switches. Switching isn’t zero cost either. Agree with your conclusion though it’s stupid to have a referendum
