Could also be true. But hey, if it's so important shouldn't Bay Street just wake up an hour earlier rather than making it everybody else's problem?

What I find weird here is doing away with DST, like getting rid of the penny, is a libertarian obsession that nonetheless has broad public support. And yet it always seems too difficult to pull off.

That was my thought too. Keep the time the same between Wall St. and Bay St.

their schedules are more different than alike. Different holidays. Different pre-market and post-market hours. Many different rules.

Some equities trade on half a dozen exchanges. Around the world.

There's no need to close markets on any particular timing now. They used to be closed on Fridays so they'd have 3 full days to do paper reconciliation. Now everything is in realtime.

people just say that. Lots of places don’t change and it’s fine… Pheonix and California have been doing it for decades

I didn't say that I agreed!

But it's true. Who speaks for the markets? We must always think of them!
