Does anyone know what time it is in Canada?
Does anyone know what time it is in Canada?
On November 1st, half of Canada's clocks rolled back an hour, but the other half didn't, as many of the Western provinces are ditching seasonal time changes in favour of permanent daylight saving time. And we can't forget that some provinces and territories have multiple time zones and some are just naming their own - like Alberta, who announced they will now be following permanent "Alberta Time." So what time is it, and why — and what time should it be? We speak with Patricia Lakin-Thomas, a chronobiologist at York University, about why time in Canada is getting so confusing — and why she's concerned most of the province is making the wrong choice.
