A.K.A. keeping things as they are. 🤗
Jokes aside, it looks like the petition is for permanent Standard Time and not DST.
If it were for the latter, it would be problematic as the sun would rise past 9 am in some places for many months out of the year, putting kids and commuters at greater risk.
Really, keeping the thing as it is sounds like the lesser of the three evils.
We have dark winter months in BC either way. But sticking to Standard time all year would put summer month sunrise near 3:30- 4am out here, as we already have bright daylifht at 4:30-5 am in the summer. It would suck to have super early morning and then lose an hour at end of day
Areas with a 9am sunrise could start school at 10am
That would force parents to either start work late (good luck with that) or paying more for daycare. Not to mention that kids would be coming home closer to evening rush hour, which would be more dangerous for them.
