Yes, y'know, the moment I sent that, I thought "No, Manitoba!" But I'd<br>
been tired.<br>

For the USA to fix the problem has been difficult in large part because<br>
of the complex way state and Federal law interact, secondarily because<br>
of Congress's slowness to bother action, and thirdly because of lack of<br>
consensus about the correct remedy.<br>
<br>
I favour year-round standard time on belance, but it's a complex topic.<br>
