Add time-change referendum to May 9 election ballot

It is time we quit changing our clocks twice a year because the United States does it

To the editor;

I believe it is time we quit changing our clocks twice a year because the United States does it.

With technology that can adjust time between countries, why do we insist on following a procedure that has long served the idea that we can benefit from it?

Saskatchewan gets along well by keeping the same time year-round and an MP in Alberta is planning to put forth a motion to end the practice in his province.

One way do change this is to bring it to the attention of the politicians  before the May 9 B.C. election and call for a referendum on the matter.
