That's interesting, that's one story I don't think I'd heard about yet.

Here's hoping, to be sure. Unfortunately our politicians could well switch back if it proves to be too unpopular. One tiny bit of hope is that we do/did have a few places in the province that didn't observe DST prior to our current change, so maybe, just maybe, we have some voices here already that can preach the benefits of not changing.

Let's check in in 10 months! heh
