Wave of legislative moves to keep clocks on same time year-round is reaching Ontario
Most Canadians have the chance to catch up on some sleep when clocks move back an hour Sunday, but an Ontario politician is optimistic it could be the last time for the country’s most populous province.
“I find it’s just awful when you get home from work in the afternoon and it’s already dark out and you feel you can’t go out.” He hasn’t heard back from Hochul, but there is a bill before the state legislature proposing year-round daylight time. Complicating matters in that even if the state opted for that, it would still have to wait for Congress to approve it.
That’s particularly the case in the spring when clocks move forward and an hour of sleep is lost, said Joseph De Koninck from the University of Ottawa’s Brain and Mind Research Institute.
