Quebecers to turn back clocks for (possibly) the last time this weekend

Quebecers are getting ready to turn back the clocks, possibly for the last time. I hate it. It's like, it's crazy. With kids, yeah, we don't like it. Quebec's new premier promised in his campaign to abolish seasonal time changes. Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon now says he will consult experts and introduce a bill this winter to make it happen. Half the continent is moving and half is not, and it's becoming very confusing. Several western provinces decided to stop switching time in the past year amid growing concerns that changing the clocks disrupts sleep and is linked to increased risk of heart attacks and car accidents. Setting the clocks on one time all year is also sparking another debate. Should there be more light in the morning or the evening? I'd like to have a lot more daytime in the evening when I can actually like have fun. But I have to admit, I don't know if we should get which side to go. I don't know. It's much better to have light in the morning. There's no question about that in terms of health and biology. This expert warns starting winter days in the dark would disrupt sleep patterns, especially for children, and harm mental health and productivity. We need the light in the morning, natural light, to synchronize our biological clock. Quebec's neighbours are holding off for now. Ontario passed legislation back in 2020 saying it will scrap the time change only if New York and Quebec are both on board. A possible complication in Canada's capital region where workers regularly cross back and forth between provinces. It'll be essential for Quebec and Ontario to coordinate that. It could be a little chaotic if just across the river, you know, we're an hour different. Different timelines and some confusion. Even if experts and most Canadians agree, it's time to stop changing the clock. Alexander Silberman, CBC News, Montreal.
