Time Will Be Meaningless Soon

Why? Why must we have our differences? There ain't no good guy. There ain't no bad guy. We just disagree...

Canadian business leaders fear major economic disruption if this country does not get in step with an American move to extend daylight saving time. Yesterday, the U.S. Congress quietly adopted a provision to extend daylight hours by two months after proponents argued the scheme would help curb energy use by cutting back on the need for artificial light in the evening. Under the legislation, part of a sweeping energy package, daylight saving time across most of the United States will now start on the first weekend in March and run through the last weekend in November. Daylight time now runs from April through October in Canada and the U.S.

What are we a gonna do if it is 5 pm in Watertown and 6 pm here?

By the way, I want to be appointed to a Federal Commission on time. First thing I do - order cool leather jackets with "Time Commissioner" on it. Then I establish some laws of time.

Kinda like a 'time lord' or something. I see a Canadian Heritage Minute out of this.

Shameless self promotion here... but I'm advocating a Canadian version of The Minute Men - a border pratrol responsible for setting and re-setting watches as people cross the border.

What the hell does that have to do with my appointment to the Time Commission!?!? And who the hell do you think this vigilante group would be involving themselves with? The hoards of Idahoans sneeking into BC?

Maybe the Canadians do not actually stop them at the border but ask them nicely to adjust their watches.

Actually that is not bad of an idea. Another one that jumped my mind was a (Canadian) 'Festival of Time' (TM) with as climax, a projection of Canadian time (AST/ET/ etc) in the air, which can be viewed from as far as uh... New York?
