It has never made sense to call something "Daylight time" if it's year-round. Just pull the neighbor standard time. And if that makes even less sense that also tells me that you hate "the sun overhead at noon" for unjustified (to me) reasons.
It's a pull quote from the article subhead, which I thought summarized the state of the public discussion at the moment. Aren't we used to seeing these pronouncements by politicians, bureaucrats, and journalists about keeping "daylight" time year round? Saskatchewan, fixed on CST -0600, is often referred to as switching from CST to MDT in summer, and is shown as such on the NRC official time Summer Time Zones map at: http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/services/time/time_zones.html If Alberta changes, there could possibly be further changes north in the North West Territories. -- Take care.
