I almost wanted to service my watch today

When I woke up and checked phone and watch, my heart lost a beat. Over the night the watch gained exactly one hour, not second more not a second less, exactly one hour faster.

Then I realized, winter is coming.

Your microwave doesn’t work when the clock falls one hour back?

Me also. Always a chore to set the time forward or back.

pardon me but I have to blame Americans for this.
We Canadians have voted unanimously to go along with Americans as soon as you guys decide to abandon this nonsense.

Now you are debating if the clock should be permanently fixed for summer or winter time. It's been 3 years going on.

Yeah, sorry about that - we have a little dysfunction here and there... but you decided to follow us!

I know. we don't have choices.
we share more than 3000 miles unguarded border, and 85% of our exporting goods are going to the south of the border. We have to follow you in the time, literally.
Without you guys, we are less than Mexicans, or worse to be conquered by Russians. To me I would rather speak English than Russian.

I have been a long time advocator to dissolve federation here and join our southern neighbour, at least abandon currency and use USD only, like Puerto Rico did. but people here don't listen to me.
