Ford Open to Ontario Time-Change Talks as Quebec Weighs Ending Switch
Ford says Ontario could join Quebec in ditching twice-yearly clock changes if neighbouring jurisdictions agree on a permanent time.
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he is "very open" to discussions with Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon about abolishing the twice-annual time change.
- Quebec intends to abolish the twice-annual switch but has not yet decided whether to keep daylight time or standard time year-round, planning to consult experts before making a final decision.
- Asked about the rest of Ontario following suit, Ford said he is "all in" if Quebec, New York, and the "eastern corridor of the U.S." agreed; he called himself "easy going" on the specific time format.
- British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, northwestern Ontario, and the Northwest Territories all chose this year to stick with daylight time, diverging from the traditional twice-annual clock adjustment.
- A recent analysis from the Canadian Medical Association Journal favors permanent standard time instead, warning that permanent daylight time would push Toronto's winter solstice sunrise to around 8:45 a.m.
