This again.

It won't happen because the States won't do it.

Stoopid! Because it's no longer needed! And it's harmful.

Yes. Full stop.

This is brought up twice a year every year. After 40+ years of it either do it or shut up about it.

If it was standard time during the summer months, Montreal sunrise would be 4:05AM and sunset at 7:45PM in June.

If Montreal remained in DST year round, sunrise would be at 8:30AM and set at 5:15PM in December.

If we remained on standard time, we'd have sunrise at 4:35AM and sunset at 8PM in Toronto.

If we had DST year round, sunrise would be 8:45AM and sunset would be at 5:40PM in Toronto.

I think Standard time sucks in the summer. And while I'd love to have more sunlight in the afternoon in the winter, I recognize that having sunrise only by 8:30-8:45AM is detrimental.

Yes.

Or make it permanent. I don't care which.

End it. And make it keep winter time. With the outdoors getting hotter every year, I want more time in the dark when it’s ever so slightly cooler.

Yes.

Yes it is.

There are no health risks. However there is a mental health benefit of not having to deal with this bullshit anymore.

Maybe we could reach some kind of middle ground (so permanently lose/gain a half hour instead of a whole hour)?
