Back in September there was a US senate bill backed by the two Florida senators to cancel the return to standard time at the end of the month so that there would be more evening daylight over the winter this year to "cope with the pandemic", but it failed. It would have, kind of ironically, put Michigan an hour
ahead of Windsor. Since time in Canada is managed only at the provincial levels, it would require 13 separate bills being passed in all provinces and territories to get the country in sync with the US, but two provinces are currently having elections so they can't accomplish that in time.
Apparently quite a few states have already passed similar laws:
Quote:
Florida’s legislature passed a year-round daylight saving time bill in 2018, when Scott was governor and supported the measure. But the change cannot take effect without federal authorization, which Rubio has been pushing for since last year.
Delaware, Maine, South Carolina and eight other states have passed similar bills and several others, including New York, are looking to join the group.

I suppose we're not as far off from 10am sunrises as we thought? I can't wait to spend the first three hours at work in total darkness, just so I can get a half hour of daylight after work! What joy! Already finding it hard enough to wake up in total darkness every day, but to spend the first 4 waking hours of it in darkness too?? We'll definitely have to reconsider time zone boundaries if we follow through with this
utter malarkey.
