@canada Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?

If yes, what would you prefer: year round daylight savings time (an extra hour of sunlight in the evening) or standard time (an extra hour of sunlight in the morning)?

Every 6 months we go through this bullshit.

Let's pick one day a year for Easter while we're at it.

Fun fact: While Roman Catholic church erased Jesus from Christianity in year 390, and 900, they decided to change Easter schedule to be different than Passover in order to not be strictly about old testament divine rights of kings for war.

Really, I don't care, and I don't see why we have holidays for one fictional character from a fictional book for one religion, in what is supposed to be a multicultural society.

Fun fact, if you pay really close attention to a Catholic mass, there are one or two really subtle references to Jesus that haven't yet been erased.

I won't mention them here, because they may find out and make corrections.

When the Church made God and Jesus of co-equal same matter, they let the empire just listen to their inner voice on what (God given) land they deserve instead of the "do onto others..." philosophy. Similarly, under Charlemagne, the holy spirit became what the empire tells you instead of any inner devotion/love/conscience guided by Jesus's humanist philosophy. Pretending that Jesus fully approved, instead of reformed, the old testament is the erasure of Jesus in Christianity, even if our Yawehist warmongering sect is sold with more love than zionism.
