Time to Spring Forward

Prince George, B.C.- It’s that “time” of the year, when we are to move our clocks AHEAD one hour before we go to bed tonight.
Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March, and ends on the first Sunday in November at 2:00 a.m. local time. That’s when most Canadians adjust their watches and clocks by one hour. Some exceptions are small areas in British Columbia and Quebec, and most of Saskatchewan where communities remain on Standard Time all year round.
The Federal regulation of Daylight Saving Time occurred only during wartime as a measure to increase war production. Today, it has more to do with consistency and compatibility in connection with cross-border trade, financial and legal transactions, and air traffic control-to name a few.
This is also the time of the year we are reminded to check the batteries on the smoke detectors in our homes. New batteries could save a life should the unthinkable happen and your home be the scene of the next fire.

All bow down to an archaism.
We might as well be worshipping the sun god for as much sense this forwards, backwards crap makes.
I agree with the forwards& backwards comment but worshipping the sun god makes more sense than santa claus or the easter bunny.
When it changes, leave it as is
