Reminder scientifically we know standard time is better year-round than DST. So every province should work towards staying standard. Hopefully we can be done with this nonsense and @savestandard.bsky.social

I’m tired of changing the clocks twice a year. Go back to standard time and stay there. It’s more natural to have the sun directly overhead at noon, and it’s better for our circadian rhythms.
Remind your congress members that permanent Daylight Saving Time has failed before—only permanent Standard Time can last! www.votervoice.net/ditchDST/Cam...

I've been saying this my entire life since childhood and I'm just starting my 80th year. It's about "time" folks figured out Daylight Sucker Time was about being chumped into the Corporate power structure con game. Take your power back and don't just give it away. Use technology to make life better.
If Daylight Saving Time were named “wake an hour early time”, no one would do it.

“Every winter, Americans lose warmth at exactly the time they need it most. Meanwhile millions of degrees go unused each summer. Heat Saving Temperature shifts 60 degrees of warmth into the winter months, when families are home to enjoy them…” americansforwarmerwinters.org

9am in mid-October and it's just barely light outside. In the past I'd have been counting down to the time change for a reprieve; in a better future, I'd be on standard time year-round. Instead I get neither. Let me say again just how much I hate life on permanent DST! @savestandard.bsky.social

@savestandard.bsky.social support.google.com/calendar/ans... This help article is a good demonstration of why clocks should just stay put (and I’d add, at Standard time).

Give it up, @heinrich.senate.gov - It’s ok to change your mind.
“Thune made clear opposition to permanent Daylight Saving Time—which would lead to very late winter sunrises —ran deeper than one senator.”

Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island—tell your premiers and MLAs to resist permanent Daylight Saving Time, restore permanent Atlantic Standard Time instead!

Crash was shortly after 6am EDT, which is just when nighttime darkness ended. Sunrise came over an hour later at 7:21am EDT. 😔 With permanent Standard Time, sunrise would have been 6:21am EST, everyone would’ve had more light and likely more sleep. We see crashes every October.

Continuing to raise this with my own senator, @heinrich.senate.gov Please drop your sponsorship of the bill for permanent DST. You cannot rep New Mexico and side with this lunatic of a president. Your staff, where is your staff?

🗳️ Kenora, Ontario, Canada: If you live, work, or travel in this city, please vote for “Permanent Standard Time” in this government survey—deadline is 11:59pm tonight! surveymonkey.com/r/kenoradayl...

@savestandard.bsky.social An example, We're still on DST here near Santa Fe New Mexico USA, and on the day after the Fall solstice the sunrise was at approximately 7 am and the sunset at approximately 7 pm. Noon came 5 hours after sunrise and sunset came 7 hours after noon.

While NOT listening to Albertans, Minister Nally gaslights that he will always listen to Albertans.
“Stakeholders more frequently shared a preference for Standard Time instead… In a 2021 referendum, Albertans voted against permanent DST…” 🚨 Why are Minister Dale Nally and Premier Danielle Smith ignoring health, safety, economic concerns, and the public will?

@bcndpcaucus.bsky.social are duplicitous in many cases, including this. They *specifically* excluded Standard Time from the survey. So, people either chose: Keep changing clocks = majority dislikes No changing clocks = majority approval engage.gov.bc.ca/app/uploads/...

The argument for DST is driven on profits. Studies have shown it has a negative impact on our health. We should join Arizona and Hawaii in permanent Standard Time. Study suggests most Americans would be healthier without daylight saving time med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

Are you following this account yet? One more thing that requires citizen action is a nationwide return to only standard time, all year long. Biology and psychology insist!
On this day in 1954: Most clocks in central Kentucky “fall back” to Standard Time. Daylight Saving Time darkens mornings, which burdens schools and families.
