You CAN manufacture more daylight at a time that folks will be actually using it. And there are tech tools for the morning. For those of us that don't go jogging in minus 20 degree weather in January.

While the process is flawed, and Smith seems use/not use referendums to suit the political whims of her supporters, I'm not partisan enough to decry the fact an extra hour of daylight in the winter is the shit. Bring it on.

Over on Twitter, Greg Clark, former leader of the Alberta Party and Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission committee member shared his thoughts on the UCP's failure to act on the recommendations of the Commission.

He was one of the most reasonable politicians I've ever worked with. Worth a look.
