It's a pull quote from the article subhead, which I thought summarized 
the state of the public discussion at the moment.

Aren't we used to seeing these pronouncements by politicians, 
bureaucrats, and journalists about keeping "daylight" time year round?

Saskatchewan, fixed on CST -0600, is often referred to as switching 
from CST to MDT in summer, and is shown as such on the NRC official time 
Summer Time Zones map at:

If Alberta changes, there could possibly be further changes north in the 
North West Territories.
