It was fun to read the social media posts yesterday as many across the country adjusted to DST, Daylight Savings Time. 

While some in Saskatchewan bragged about not having to spring forward, others welcomed the change.  Friends of mine in Edmonton and Winnipeg love having the extra hour of daylight.   

Some in Saskatchewan will tell you we're already on DST - year-round.  I say those people are wrong.  And don't get me wrong.  The way my life is set up right now, I like the early sunrise.  It starts getting light around 4:30 am from mid-June through mid-July. 

However, if we made the switch, the summer sun would remain in the sky until after 10 o'clock in late June and early July.  We'd have more daylight to play ball, golf and all the other outdoor activities like riding bikes and hiking.  It just makes so much sense to me. 

You know, among the proponents of DST are people who make a living in the tourism industry.  Many believe longer evenings would give our tourists more time for shopping and attending other events and therefore boosting the local economy. 

But here we are.  While others spring forward and then fall back, here in Saskatchewan we just stand pat.
