I wonder if those jurisdictions are actually looking at this? I can't imagine New York only looks at Ontario or Quebec on this. I would have to think that a large chunk of other states around them would have to agree as well. But I also think that if they do go for it, it will lead to a cascade of other eastern time zone states going along as well.

Ah yes, another wacky idea with a total lack of consideration for people in Southwestern Ontario. Why is New York included in this but not Michigan? There is obviously no way Windsor should be in a different time zone than Detroit. Further, if Ontario were in daylight time year-round then the sun wouldn't even rise in Windsor in December until after 9:00. If Michigan were to agree to this, then in Western Michigan it wouldn't rise until 9:30. Hence, they will never agree to it anyway. Discussion closed. I'm sure this no-name MPP from Ottawa never bothered to research how this could impact the other parts of the province.
