Canada Said No To More Daylight Saving Time In 1974!!! | CBC Archives

Back in January 1974, Canadians were embroiled in a debate about bringing back daylight time in the depths of winter — all because of our neighbours to the south. CBC News covers the Canadian debate over adopting daylight saving time (DST). While the U.S. pushed for DST as a way to save energy—claiming an extra hour of daylight could save around 150,000 barrels of oil daily—Canada was divided. Ontario ultimately rejected the switch, citing opposition from parents, workers, and concerns about children heading to school in the dark. Canada's colder climate also raised doubts, as energy savings might be offset by increased heating and electricity needs during dark mornings. The report dives into how Canadian industries felt about the potential change. While stock exchanges and airlines generally supported DST to stay synchronized with the U.S., some provinces, like Saskatchewan, remained firmly against it, keeping standard time year-round. This divide highlighted the practical and logistical challenges Canada faced if it were to adopt DST in sync with its southern neighbor. ➤ Watch More Archive Clips Here!    • Canada's Digital Archives   ➤ Subscribe: ‪@CBC‬ Thumbnail generated by AI and has AI elements About CBC Gem: CBC Gem offers the full programming slate, from drama to documentaries to sports.
