Since 2020, Saskatchewan has been on permanent daylight saving time, and Yukon has been on permanent standard time, but no one elsewhere in the country has ever wanted to know what time it was in either of these places, so it didn’t cause any confusion.
Thanks but Saskatchewan has never suffered through this stupid clock changing BS. Twice a year we would hear some business owner complain about it and how we should change to using it, but than how would the cattle understand why they are being feed an hour earlier/later?
The theory I’ve heard floated most often was that it was intended to make sure that workers in British munitions factories during the World Wars could see well enough to find their way to the pub at the end of their shift. Nothing to do with farmers at all. It isn’t like cows or crops care about numbers on a clock.

Yeah, daylight savings is quite distressing for my dog also.
Most of Saskatchewan.
I’ve heard the excuse that the whole daylight savings shenanigans are to help farmers, but that’s always sounded silly.
I farm. The cows don’t give a shit either way.

I was taught it was to reduce the need for artificial lighting and conserve fuel for the war efforts.
