I think the bigger problem is people don't actually know what Daylight Saving Time is and when it's in effect. A lot of people I know do not understand that we go on Daylight Saving Time in the summer, and "fall back" to standard time in the winter; they think it's the opposite, that we're on Daylight Saving Time right now. At work I'm constantly correcting people when they write emails like "I'm available for a call at xx:xx am MST" in the summer; "You mean MDT?"


Had the wording been a more concise "Do you want Alberta to adopt Central Standard Time year-round (as in Saskatchewan)?" I think it would have been a much more resounding "no".
