Hey, Nate Glubish, You Can Fix The Clock for the Whole World
Dear Nate, I hope you don't mind me calling you that. I know you are a duly elected member of Alberta Legislative Assembly, but you are also Canadian, so my guess is that you are not overly formal. Recently the news came out that you are going to call for... Continue reading

Image
Recently the United States went through a tricky couple of weeks where use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for Covid-19 was suspended, and then reinstated. The problem?

Is Change Coming to European Summertime in 2021?
Image
Of all the oddities of Daylight Saving Time, one of the oddest is that the United States shifts the clocks the second Sunday of March, and much of Europe does it on the last Sunday of March. Maybe even more weird is Israel and some nearby countries, however, which switch... Continue reading

Federal Bills to Stop Daylight Saving Time - Update for 2021
Image
I recently wrote about what’s going on in state legislatures around the country. One of the criticisms that I sometimes get is that I shouldn’t pay much attention to what happens in the states because the federal law needs to get fixed, and state-level efforts are pointless. That’s just wrong,... Continue reading

Which Celebrities Want to Fix Daylight Saving Time?

What is the Place of #LockTheClock Movement in DST History?
