And while Calgary wouldn't line up with Denver and Vegas anymore, we'd be aligned with Houston, which wouldn't be such a bad thing. And we would have much more latitude-appropriate sunrises on permanent standard time, and no time changes twice a year since that seems to be an increasing hardship for everyone. Win win?

Except for it getting light at 3-4am all summer, and not having it be brighter at a more useful time of day.
