We need to stop looking for excuses when it comes to rounded metric
sizes and just do it.
Whatever happens will be led by industry, not just because it's the
right thing to do.
Just like most of the US, most of Canada moved ahead one hour early
this morning
by implementing daylight saving time. What's unusual is that up to
now, this would have
taken place on the first Sunday in April. The US Congress
implemented a change to the
2nd Sunday in March starting in 2007.
Within months of the US announcing the change, Canada's provinces
announced that
where they observed daylight saving time, they would coordinate their
change to the same
date as the US.
Many Canadians asked why we were blindly following along and said
that there was
no valid reason to change. The answer given was that was that it was
essential to
remain coordinated with the US so as not to disrupt trade.
Of course, if Canada had wanted to be the ones to implement an earlier
daylight saving time, the US would have followed along for the same
reason, right?
