    Just out of curiosity .... What do " your " forefathers " have to do with Canadian time decisions ? .....

      The western states have been talking about this after we started the conservation several years ago so after waiting and waiting we decided to just do it. Hopefully they'll follow our lead. Alberta, the province next to us is now considering no longer moving their clocks back and forth as well.

        Yes, the message before was..."let's see what our biggest trading partner does first..." Well Eby is done with the US so this was his jab imo. Works for me

Red would look better with all that Black stuff from "83".... Do realize, just another opinion. There's probably somebody out there that has the opinion that hideous dank dark Blue with all that black looks good,.. Heck, on mine I can't tell where the body stops and the eng., exhaust, and all that other black stuff start, just looks like one big blob of darkness.

                  I think he canceled going back to standard time in November and we just stayed on DST all winter. Anyone remember that?

                    I remember that. I also remember some cold showers after practice because of the energy shortage.
