"To save fossil fuel" my Sweet Aunt's patootie! If they were serious about such things they'd increase the CAFE standards every year by 0.2 MPG and not allow carry-forward credits.
I really hope that Canada doesn't change its time zones. Knowing how much they don't like our current administration, I think they probably won't.
I've never understood the benefit for DST, but then again, up until now, I've lived in Arizona all my life and quite happily ignored it. Windows was nice enough to include an Arizona time zone that doesn't switch for DST, my VCR had a configuration option to ignore it, my current Palm Pilot ignores it all together, the only things that I had to do was to shift my atomic clock one zone twice a year and to remember to shift for Russet's work schedule. Now I don't have to shift my atomic clock nor remember Russet's work schedule as when she's not at home, she's at work, but I do have to remember where ALL my friends are and accomodate that. At least I'm one hour closer to my Eastern friends.
