It would seem that the Canadian province of Ontario, of which I happen to be a resident of, is rapidly and willingly being assimilated into our Southern neighbor. The latest bout idiocy comes from our Attorney General who according to the CBC article that can be found here intends to force extension of DST to match that of United States. According to Americans this change, signed into law by GWB will lead to energy savings, right… Of all the things to change, I suppose no one considered doing something about all those SUV drivers, whose cars eat fuel by the truckload, but anyway…
The synchronization of the change in Ontario is being argumented by the fact that having the same time zone will make easier to maintain trade links. So, in 2007 Ontario will blindly follow US’s lead and extend daylight time. Supposedly, Quebec, 2nd most populous province after Ontario is well on its way in adopting a similar stance.
