"one of the only countries in the world"?

Most of Europe, New Zealand, most of Canada, some of Australia, Chile & Egypt all observe DST of some form. Strange opening spin to the article.

But I agree it needs to be got rid of.

That's less than a third of the countries in the world.

Go for it. I’m sure it will go better than the last time they tried it.

Didn't some kid get hit by a car or something walking to school in the dark?

If they do permanent Standard Time instead of Daylight Savings Time then it probably will go better.

As a Canadian we have been wanting to get rid of it forever but politicians always say we need to wait for America to stop or it will cause issues.
