At 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, daylight saving time (DST) will end in Canada, marking a shift back one hour. Originating in Canada in 1908, DST gained popularity during WWI for energy conservation but has seen varied adoption across provinces, with Saskatchewan and Yukon choosing different approaches. Research indicates that DST can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to health issues like stress and impaired cognitive function. The growing movement to abolish DST includes proposed legislation and opposition from figures like U.S. President Donald Trump.
