This relates to the thread regarding the current, and some say pointless, outdated, or even disruptive practice of shifting our clocks back and forth each March and November.

Rounding off the sunrise and sunset times to the nearest 5 minutes, according to TimeAndDate.com, Toronto gets a little over 8 hours and 55 minutes of daylight on the 21st of December, and a little over 15 hours and 25 minutes on June 21st.

Staying all year on the setting we use during the summer would result in winter daylight hours of approximately:
8:50 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., then in late June 5:35 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Staying all year on our present 'winter' setting would have winter daylight hours of approximately:
7:50 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., then in late June 4:35 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Good summary! Get it done.
