    Sunlight in the morning is better for overall mental health.
    The Sun staying out later has no such affect.

    Since we have sprung ahead and the plan is to stay there, there will be that extra hour of (morning) sun.

    In any case I enjoy the morning sun even if I have to wait a bit.. :)

    No there will not be an extra hour of (morning) Sun. DST puts the extra sunlight in the afternoon/evening and, in winter, will move sunrise much,
    much later than you've ever seen it before.

    So a 2-year experiment was initially very popular but quickly became ver unpopular and lasted only 10 months.

    That's interesting, that's one story I don't think I'd heard about yet.

    Yeah, I think part of the reason it is coming back up now is that most
    people are not old enough to remember how horribly that went over. I
    don't remember it starting... I was too young... but I do remember there
    was a "big deal" made about falling back one year so I am guessing that
    was why.

    Here's hoping, to be sure. Unfortunately our politicians could well switch ba if it proves to be too unpopular. One tiny bit of hope is that we do/did have few places in the province that didn't observe DST prior to our current chang so maybe, just maybe, we have some voices here already that can preach the benefits of not changing.

    Let's check in in 10 months! heh

    Were those areas First Nations? Just curious as I know here in Arizona
    they treat it differently than the rest of the state.

    "Here in Arizona" = Here in the US in Arizona (I don't live there! <grin>)

    Maybe up North, but I don't think so much in the Kootenay areas where they don't change. I don't know the history of the decisions, though.
