Canadians set back clocks this weekend as debate over seasonal time changes continues
CTV
Most Canadians have the chance to catch up on some sleep when clocks move back an hour Sunday, but an Ontario politician is optimistic it could be the last time for the country's most populous province.
Jeremy Roberts, who represents the constituency of Ottawa West-Nepean, tabled a private member's bill in October 2020 that would end the biannual time change in Ontario.
The bill, which passed the next month with unanimous support, would have the province on permanent daylight time. Ontarians would get an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day in exchange for it in the morning.
"I have always really disliked the time change, particularly the fall-back time change," Roberts said.
"I find it's just awful when you get home from work in the afternoon and it's already dark out and you feel you can't go out."
