Alberta Leads Time Zone Shift, Western Canada Follows

0:00It's April 24th, I'm Cory with the story. This is Canada News Today, driven by AI. Alberta's pushing hard to ditch those annoying clock changes, tabling a bill to lock in permanent daylight time starting this November. After years of back and forth, folks there would skip falling back and on them, trading early winter sunrises for brighter evenings. Meanwhile, the ripples hitting Western Canada big time. Northwest Territories plans to tag along, linking up with Yukon, British Columbia, on daylight time. While Saskatchewan sticks to central standard, their clocks stay sinked year round anyway. Manitoba's premiere is eyeing a prairie time's own shift. Atlantic leaders like Nova Scotia say their game only of neighbors join, and Ontario's. Waiting on Quebec and New York to mash their old 2020 law, experts point out health perks from steady time, though permanent standard beats daylight for bodies. Clock flips mess with sleep worst of all. This is worried about late starts for events, plus travel and trade snags with U.S. zones.
