But you could just start your changeover a day earlier. Personally I’ve been adjusting by one minute per day for the last 60 days so today only represented an insignificant shift.
I just set my clock ahead by two hours on Friday, that way I get an extra hour sleep heading into Sunday when I set it back.

Can we get the Trucker Convoy to protest the time change?

With the time change I was able to go to the park with my two young kids after dinner and play until they ran out of steam, instead of being forced in by darkness.

Love me some daylight savings. It's the first sign of spring for me.

Was on vacation and just returned tonight. Didn’t even realize it was daylight savings.

I said it previously in this thread, but lord I hate daylight savings time changes with small kids.

Now you'd probably say to me "hey, you complained about this in the fall when the time change meant your kids were up at 530am instead of 630 - but doesnt that mean in the spring they're now getting up at 730am?" And you know what? Logically you'd think you'd be right, but no. Goddman little hellians have somehow adjusted to DST in 2 days, whereas in the Fall, getting them to adjust their body clocks took what felt like months.

Looks like the US is moving to have DST permanent starting November 2023.

I'm betting Canada* falls in line at the same time.

But this is the sort of thing you don't want to be ahead of the game on. You want to be in lock-step with everyone else, otherwise you're Saskatchewan... and no one wants to be Saskatchewan.

Canada will really have no choice but to fall in line. Unfortunate, I really do prefer the twice yearly time changes. The US is affected by a permanent switch much less than Canada is and permanent DST probably makes sense for them. Being further south than Canada the magnitude of morning darkness will be much less for them. It will suck for us when it is not getting light until after 9am or later. But I'll admit the lighter evenings are okay.

I have a 5 year old and almost-3 year old, and we've never had any issues with the time changes. They've always been late sleepers though, it's rare when either one wakes up before 8:00, so I'm guessing that helps

If this US bill passes then we may end up on permanent DST sooner rather than later

Like I said earlier in this thread, I'm 100% ok with the change to permanent as long as the rest of NA do it, and it looks like the US is, so we'll most likely follow suit pretty quickly. Looking forward to 9am darkness in the winter lol, but then getting an extra hour in the evening will be a nice trade off.

Ya its probably more my kids. Getting them to sleep in is a constant battle and 7am is a win. If they ever slept in until 8am I would consider it a miracle.

The US making a political decision that defies all logic, reason and science? Well, I for one am shocked at this.

And the US can do it in one federal vote. Alberta had to have a plebiscite over this!
