@canada Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?

If yes, what would you prefer: year round daylight savings time (an extra hour of sunlight in the evening) or standard time (an extra hour of sunlight in the morning)?

No. The time changes show us how time is a construct and how we as a society can make collective decisions that alter our reality.

All of the alternatives to our current system have their own problems, there is no perfect solution. Design is about finding a compromise that works the least ungood and I think the time change is that.

Yeah, could we collectively decide to stop fucking with the construction of time?

GST is a societal construct. Should it be 4.5% during the summer and 5.5% during the winter to show us we can make collective decisions?
