Daylight Savings Time has no place in our modern world. Of 195 countries in the world, approximately 70 countries observe Daylight Saving Time in at least a portion of the country. Japan, India, and China are the only major industrialized countries that do not observe some form of daylight saving.
70 countries must live with it.
At 2:00am Sunday, set your clocks ahead one hour if you live in an area where the convention is still followed.
Typically, regions that use daylight saving time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to standard time. In Canada, we have a little expression, “Spring ahead, Fall behind” to make it easy to remember what to do twice a year. In Canada, it is the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November.
How to set your mechanical clock(s)
- Move the minute hand slowly clockwise to the correct time, stopping briefly for the quarter-hour on chiming clocks and the half-hour for striking clocks.
- Do not move the minute hand backward as it risks damage to the movement. This should be regarded as a general rule, exceptions are some clocks where it is safe to do so (read your owner’s manual).
There has been a push to scrap the time-switch in Canada.
It is stupid, needless, senseless, and confusing.

Ron, agree to scrapping this semi annual chore. When I was working, ,both myself and co-workers bit tired, or bit out of sorts, after these switches. Both at Spring and Fall. Adjusting clocks, not too bad in March as can move hands clockwise. Have to stop clocks in the Fall for an hour. Yes, time has come to stop messing with time.

There has been a movement by some provinces to end it.
