Standard time is better for the health of the population, especially in teens. There's a ton of research on the subject.

But standard time gives different hours based on your lat/long position. Eastern has about 45 min later daylight, western has 45 min earlier sunrise. So one standard doesn't give all provinces the same daylight range, it is shifted

Eastern has about 45 min later daylight, western has 45 min earlier sunrise.

I mean in Vancuver BC longest summer, official daylight is 5:05am, but twilight is 4:23am. Toronto daylight in longest summer day starts about 5:35 (twilight at 5am) The twilight here is super bright. East coast gets more daylight in winter I think

The eastern part of a time zone has earlier sunrise/sunset than the western part of that same time zone. A little past Detroit would have Vancouver times.
