=================
Of course, you could simply ignore all this changing of clocks
and go on 24hr GMT as I did a few years ago...
=================
Apparently, all the traffic signs in Ontario have been doing just that
for many years, but no-one realized it until this week.  Somebody got
off a traffic ticket for doing a turn at a time of day it was signposted
as illegal, on the grounds that the governing law did not give the
municipalities jurisdiction to say that the sign meant Daylight Saving
Time when the clocks did.  So from now on, until the Province changes
the law, all traffic signs must be interpreted as Standard Time,
summer and winter.

More fun!
