US timezones also get messed with. This isn't a Canadian problem (in fact, many Canadian jurisdictions have laws on the books to automatically get rid of the switchover when enough US jurisdictions in the same timezone do it). The only truly unique Canadian time zone is Newfoundland, which is in it's own timezone that's off by half an hour as anybody growing up watching Canadian TV knows (X show at 8PM, or 8:30 in Newfoundland...). I remember the shitshow in the mid 2000s when the Bush administration moved the time change cutover dates by 2 weeks as an attempt to deal with high energy prices (it didn't do much as lighting was by then a small percentage of electricity use and this was before LEDs). All sorts of machines needed updating, from ancient mainframes to clocks and watches, many of which couldn't. We Canadians also did it for longer term practical reasons. | |||||||||||||||||
