On the final day of the fall sitting on Tuesday, Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership candidate, Vermilion-Lloydminster MLA Richard Starke presented a petition to the legislature calling for repeal of the Daylight Saving Time Act and a move to Central Time (from Mountain Time), to be decided by a referendum.
The stories linked below are all from the same news org and under the same byline.
The latter two have a vote button at the bottom to poll readers' opinions, each currently running about 80/20 in favour of dropping DST, and/or possibly also of switching to permanent CT, depending on whether the voters read the question or just clicked.
