Manitoba Stops Falling Back

Manitoba's clocks will not fall back this November, Premier Wab Kinew announced Thursday, which keeps the province on daylight time through the winter rather than switching to standard time. Global News reports that mental health advocates called the end of the seasonal change a positive thing. The arithmetic of staying put is the familiar one from every debate over abolishing the switch: clocks remain an hour ahead, so winter mornings begin in deeper darkness while evenings hold their light longer. Manitoba has picked a side, at least for this November.
