    I thought this was about ending the practice of moving the clock back and forth twice a year, but no, it’s just about soon moving the clock

      However, changing the clocks isn’t just about an extra hour of sleep. Research from Johns Hopkins suggests that the time shift can lead to higher stress, disrupted sleep and even a temporary increase in car accidents.

      Aware of these risks, Ontario passed a bill in 2020 to make daylight saving time permanent, though it remains on hold until Quebec and New York State decide to make the same change—a commitment neither has made yet.

      Waiting on New Yorkers and the Québécois.

      Yeah, headline should be “daylight-saving time soon continues in Ontario” :-/

        They are technically correct, Daylight savings end, standard time continues.

            Wut? March through November is Daylight savings time. Rest is standard time without the adjustments. I wish the practise of DST shifting would get frozen though.

              yes, that is what I said. When DST “ends” in November as that headline states…it will no longer be in effect. But the system of constant clock shifting will still be in place.
