The United States took one step closer to abandoning the practice of changing the clocks every spring and fall, raising the question: how would such a move down south impact Canada?
This week, the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favour of a bill that would put an end to twice-yearly time change and stay on daylight saving time year-round. The bill now goes to the U.S. Senate.
Like the U.S., Canadians in a number of provinces still change their clocks twice a year — forward one hour in the spring and then back an hour in the fall.
