Alberta's Daylight Saving Debate: Light or Dark?

0:00It's April 27th. Welcome to Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Alberta's pushing again to scrap those twice yearly clot changes and lock in permanent daylight saving time. It's stirring up the same old fight, especially for spots like a family run fish and chip shop near Calgary, where evening sunlight means more. Customers and cash flow. This push has been floating around North America for years. Folks who back at say it gives longer days after work and school, sinking better with when most people are out and about. But not everyone's on board. Critics highlight darker winter mornings that could leave kids walking to school in the pitch black, or commuters battling the gloom and health pros. Warning might mess with sleep patterns big time. Back in the 2021 referendum, it came down to the wire 131782 votes for 100. 36,874 against showing how split Albertans really are.
