Alberta cancels time changes.

[track]

I paid no heed to time-change, emotionally that is. It never bothered me, nor lost a minute of sleep, especilly when retired.

 

[Suka]

I hated it. Born, raised and lived in AB the majority of my life.

Ya wanna know why there was a time change? So gov't employees had more daylight to golf. Ya, that's it.

That is why your life was "f'd" up twice a year. Just when you we're going to work in daylight, nope, back to dark for you taxpayer.

You know who else benefits? Anyone who's range closes at sunset.

Gives them more time in the morning before work.

How do the western provinces line up? Saskatchewan is standard time and bc and alberta will be an hour different? Why? Or I'm wrong and dont understand

Saskatchewan and Alberta will be on the same time and BC will be 1 hour behind year round

BC and AB are about to make the wintertime DST experiment. The rest of us need but wait to see how they like it. One thing is I've always has the idea that most of SK stays on standard time, or am I wrong?

Ah, so I guess I was right then, about SK. The story I heard was that it was the farmers who insisted on it.

I experienced Sk and MB winnipeg-Regina about 400 miles but 1 hour diff so the sun sets much earlier(by the clock) in Regina. Less time for kids rec and adults rec in the evening. We could instruct full size gliding in Winnipeg every evening after work but it was not feasible outside of Regina.
Yes, the farmers wanted it to be daylight sooner in the AM. Vote might be different now.

Nope, that's the story the gov't told as opposition to it mounted. Was urban gov't employees.

They wanted to stay on standard time in the summer? What about the golf thing?
