Not even 5pm and it's dark out. But I would rather this than having to be awake enough to be productive on weekdays without it being light yet. For a long time I was against daylight savings time being a thing but at this point I don't see getting rid of it in either of the 2 possible ways, as an improvement. #DST #BrumalDarkness

Ok, I was alright with the DST change resulting in it being dark before dinner. But do we really need to wake up in the middle of dark again ?
Maybe I need to move to a higher latitude. Hehe

For what it's worth, I think studies show that Albertans would be best off with permanent standard time. I really don't have a strong opinion about what their government will ultimately do; that said, experience with the US in the 1970s and with Russia in the 2010s shows that changing time zones often is more of an experiment than a lasting decision.
