we have been having a variant of this headline appear ubiquitously every six months for decades.
we all know it’s a dumb idea, and we all agree that the science and data prove it, so why do we still have it?
well - because Ontario says we can’t change if New York doesn’t, and New York says we can’t change if Ontario doesn’t. it’s like a big unnecessary game of chrono-chicken. one of these regions needs to just go plowing straight ahead. the loser will absolutely end up copying the winner.
ps - Chrono Chicken would be an awesome band name.
It literally means that if NY ends DST, we will follow suit to match them. It doesn’t do anything until then, if that’s what you mean, but it still has actual meaning beyond political posturing.
It’s also not what you said. You said NY had already committed to doing it (which they haven’t) if Ontario did it too. I can’t find anything about Quebec passing a similar bill, so I may have been mistaken about that.

Did New York say that? I thought Ontario and Quebec had passed bills that would end it as soon as NY also did it.
passing bills that say we WILL do it, really doesn’t mean anything. it’s just political posturing.
basically, this is the exact same as what i was saying : we won’t do it unless the other guy guys do it.
Why doesn’t it mean anything?

Ontario has a law on the books that will trigger once NY and QC get their shit together
they sure do, but it’s really not the same as actually just doing instead of saying “we will do it if the other guy does it”
This. You can look up the texts and documents from Parliament. We are waiting on the United States
