I'm kind of torn about DST and the possibility of getting rid of it in Canada. I'm slightly north of Toronto so in the winter we don't get too much sun in the morning without DST. It's good for kids that have to go to school on buses and public transportation so they aren't leaving for school in the dark. Same for people who work. However, by the time 4:30 rolls around it's dark and most people are going home from work in the dark. For safety I think light mornings going to school and work is preferable than doing those things in the dark. When it comes to summer and we go back to standard time dawn arrives around 5-ish and it can still be light at dusk at 9:30 ish. It's always weird coming out of a movie theatre from a 7 pm show and it's still light outside at 9:30.
Did the EU ever switch back to ST? It would be odd if the UK still used DST if the rest of Europe ditched it. From a monetary perspective with stock markets would that be a boon to UK or the EU?
