Funny Side Up: Stop turning clocks forward and back
The “Funny Side Up” item highlights a debate over daylight saving time in Canada, urging viewers to stop turning clocks forward and back. The segment frames the discussion through hypothetical responses from different provinces if the practice were reversed. It references Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, and British Columbia, each offering a different humorous condition or reaction. The script also includes a Newfoundland-and-Labrador scenario involving a gradual adjustment over time and a request for a bridge, while Quebec’s response suggests waiting for other provinces and using the “notwithstanding clause,” along with a claim about banning bilingual clocks. British Columbia’s line instead points to reverting to an “original Indigenous native time” based on lunar phases. The piece is presented as comedic commentary rather than policy reporting.
