Ultimately the arguments between whether one should pick daylight or standard times are a red herring.
The benefits of one over the other usually balance out and in either case are insignificant compared to the problems caused by changing time zones twice a year.
Changing time zones is directly linked with all sorts of health issues, deaths, car crashes, etc.
Changing timezones suck, but sunset happening at 4:30pm before I leave work to go home massively contributes to winter depression. It's like "well that was a tiring day" and then instantly served with _darkness_. It sucks. If you get at least SOME light on the way home, it's a bit of a bright spot in the day, especially if the sunset is particularly pretty that day, as it often happens to be in Canadian winters. So I am extremely happy to see they chose the correct option for mental health of Canadians in the winter, and I really hope the rest of the provinces follow suit.
