Yup, I don't think it should have been a poll at all. They should have just followed the science

BC'er here. It was a non representative sample & very unscientific poll that had no option for "permanent standard time." This is a bad move for population health & will lead to more sleep deprivation & safety issues for children commuting to school in the dark

Permanent standard time is best!

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

The science says this change to permanent DST will harm everyone due to social jet lag which can lead to chronic health problems, but it will be worse biologically for night owls

So B.C. NDP's decision to put #BritishColumbia on permanent Daylight Saving Time will actually put #homeless people at risk! The #unhoused will now have to exit shelters into temperatures 1 hr colder in DST than in Standard Time. DST has never been meant for, or done during winter! #Vancouver

The 'prison' of toxic masculinity can keep men from seeking medical care. Canada wants to fix that | CBC Radio Researchers and health advocates say many men delay seeking care, even when symptoms appear — a trend the federal government says it hopes to reverse by developing a strategy focused on improving men’...

I have a lot of ~feelings~ about the Minister of Women and Gender Equality putting so many resources into Men's Health but I am seeing some pockets of greatness that feels encouraging.

Naming toxic masculinity as a problem, for one!

The science says it will be worse for mental health, especially for vulnerable groups & and lead to more SAD

Why a sleep doctor says we should never change our clocks again Most Canadians will turn their clocks back to standard time on Sunday despite a growing number of health experts say we shouldn’t go back to daylight saving time come spring

Great podcast in @theglobeandmail.com on why permanent daylight savings time isn't in line with health science but instead all about capitalism. Follow the money 💵

Permanent standard time ftw! My friend sent me a great podcast on how this change is driven by capitalism

The US tried permanent DST in 1974. Several children's lives were taken by sleep-deprived drivers. https://www.nytimes.com/1974/01/31/archives/schools-ask-end-to-daylight-time-pressure-follows-success-in-easing.html 7:35am Daylight Saving Time, New York City Photographer Unknown Why repeat bad history? Permanent Standard Time is the safest and quickest way to end clock changes. SAVE STANDARD TIME

Other places that implemented permanent daylight time saw an uptick in children being killed on their morning commutes in the dark! Science says permanent standard time is the way to go for health & safety @savestandard.bsky.social

oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism

Also I have to say I'm some crushed to see allies laugh about this issue and minimize the harms. The science says that pDST can lead to serious health harms over the longterm. Just like SARS-CoV2. All our struggles are linked & we shouldn't downplay them

Retirement goals!

Mystery

No one could have foreseen this.

Japan may be best 🇯🇵

🙏

I've seriously been musing places around the globe to move with permanent standard time if this isn't cancelled 🥲 Hawaii would be nice if the U.S. weren't in collapse

People are confused around the science on this & some are shooting the messengers

-this isn't a mild 1 hr shift just for one day. It'll cause long-term sleep deprivation that accumulates daily & can lead to health issues
-this change doesn't add more sunlight
-it'll be worse for night owls 🦉

Why daylight saving time is the bane of parents' existence Never want to change the clocks again? Move to Arizona or Hawaii.

Science: "For the average sleep-deprived parent, losing an additional 30 minutes a night is like throwing a drowning person a cinderblock"

BCNDP: No trust us parents, you'll sleep better

“Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection encompass…[cardiovascular]…abnormalities [that] occur even in previously healthy, non-hospitalized individuals, indicating that long COVID’s cardiovascular impact extends beyond the severely ill subset & poses a broader, population-level challenge.”

Excerpt from City News post We're going to burden the health-care system that's already buckling. We're going to put even more strain on first responders. Why? Because we're going to see a dramatic increase in fatigue-related accidents. We're going to see greater health-care utilization rates, because when we burn the candle at both ends, when we don't anchor our circadian rhythms and get the sleep, we're designed to get... we accelerate aging and cognitive decline.

Doctor highlights major health concerns as B.C. changes clocks for last time Most people in B.C. have changed their clocks for the last time after the province announced the permanent switch to Daylight Time.

We need a political movement in Canada that runs on a platform of following science 🧬 over vibes 💫 on all things related to human & planetary health.

We need it more than ever in this era of misinformation, climate change, pandemics & global instability

This morning in Tehran. It's presently raining oil, per CNN

It doesn't matter to them if more kids will likely die on morning commutes or have to walk alone in the dark to school. What matters is GoLF ⛳️
