Join the petition to ask the Canadian government to adopt Standard Time all year round.
"Changing clocks twice a year is hazardous to your health. There are many studies showing that changing the clock and staying on Daylight Saving Time negatively impacts our circadian rhythm, causes increases in strokes and heart attacks, impacts people with depression and seasonal affective disorder and causes more car accidents.
I ask the Canadian Government to finally stop Daylight Saving Time and enact Permanent Standard Time. Even if one person is saved from having a stroke or heart attack or is saved from a car accident, it’s worth it. Support the health and safety of Canadians and set an example for the rest of the world.
Follow the scientific research. Do the right thing and not just the easy and uninformed thing. Don’t change the clocks. Leave them on Standard Time year round. Do not spring forward."
Honest question. Can someone tell me of any time an online petition actually amounted to change in the real world?
I’m not sure about these “change” petitions which always seemed to me as just a way to gather user data. But, go to the House of Commons website where you will be able to view actual petitions to the government of Canada. There, you can sign them and/or create your own. If you’re lucky, the government may even respond with some thoughts/excuses. 🙂
