@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)?

How do you feel about leap years? They drive me nuts. We should add the 1/4 day throughout the year to do away with the burden of having an extra day of February. Leap year is a social construct that only benefits Big Mitten by having a longer winter.

But the leap year doesn't make the coldness of winter any longer, it just makes sure our seasons don't drift out of alignment with our expectation of the name of the months.

A leap year actually is a great example of how our construct of time is met with an indifferent natural law and how we need to adapt for consistency
