I had it this week when I found out I might have helped to destroy daylight saving time in Alberta. For me, daylight saving serves the function of keeping Alberta clocks in sync with Ontario ones, with a constant year-round difference of two hours. But for Albertan commuters and parents of schoolchildren, there has always been a bit of resentment at the existence of daylight saving.

It was somewhat understandable, however, because the scholarly evidence about whether daylight saving does what it claims to has never been strong.
